← Back to Domain-Specific Abstractions by Domain

2 domain-specific abstractions whose origin domain is Atmospheric Physics.

• Atmospheric Window — A wavelength or frequency interval in which Earth's atmosphere has comparatively high electromagnetic transmittance, creating a path for radiation between the surface and space whose usefulness and boundaries depend on absorbers, scatterers, clouds, and path conditions.
• Chapman function — A dimensionless spherical-atmosphere integral giving slant-path column density relative to a vertical column for an exponentially stratified constituent.
