Any emission of light at temperatures below that required for incandescence.

Category:Meteorology

An aviation weather forecast for a specific flight.

Category:Meteorology

Water vapor content of the air. See absolute humidity, dew point, mixing ratio, relative humidity, specific humidity.

Category:Meteorology

Liquid water at temperatures colder than freezing.

Category:Meteorology

In meteorology, an area of low pressure; a low or trough.

Category:Meteorology

Dew

Water condensed onto objects at or near the ground, due to the fact that their temperatures have fallen below the dew point temperature of the surrounding air, but not below freezing.

Category:Meteorology

The total area drained by a river and its tributaries. Same as watershed.

Category:Meteorology

A protocol similar to RS232 which makes use of differential transmission to provide high speed data transmission over significantly longer distances.

Category:Meteorology

An instrument for measuring radiant energy. It consists of an ether differential thermometer with blackened bulbs. One of the bulbs is exposed to the unknown radiation and the other to a black body source whose temperature can be varied. Equality of radia ...

Category:Meteorology

Same as atmometer.

Category:Meteorology

An Instrument used to determine dew point.

Category:Meteorology

The audio-frequency signal transmitted by the Diamond-Hinman radiosonde when the baroswitch pen passes each fifth contact of the commutator up to a number determined by the design of the commutator. It then signals every contact except the fifth, which is ...

Category:Meteorology

The water portion of the earth as distinguished from the solid part, called the lithosphere, and from the gaseous outer envelope, called the atmosphere.

Category:Meteorology

In a system of moist air, the dimensionless ratio of the mass of water vapor to the mass of dry air. For many purposes, the mixing ratio may be approximated by the specific humidity.

Category:Meteorology

A protocol similar to RS232 which permits data interchange on multidrop networks of up to 32 nodes using a single twisted pair cable. In order for this protocol to be used, each device on a network must have some level of intelligence in order establish o ...

Category:Meteorology

Ice crystal deposits formed by sublimation (conversion of water vapor directly to ice) when temperature and dew point are below freezing.

Category:Meteorology

The audio-frequency signal transmitted by the Diamond-Hinman radiosonde when the baroswitch pen passes each fifteenth contact of the commutator, up to a number determined by the design of the commutator, and each fifth contact thereafter. This signal is t ...

Category:Meteorology

A line drawn through geographical points having the same pluvial index.

Category:Meteorology

The volume of liquid water evaporated per unit area in unit time. usually measured as the depth of liquid water lost per unit time from the whole area.

Category:Meteorology

The maximum deviation of any points from a straight line drawn as a "best fit" through the calibration points of an instrument with a linear response curve. Usually expressed as a percentage of full- scale range.
