Atmospheric Science

← Back to Domain-Specific Abstractions by Domain

3 domain-specific abstractions whose origin domain is Atmospheric Science.

• Atmospheric sounding — Measurement of the vertical profile of atmospheric properties such as pressure, temperature, humidity, wind and trace constituents by in-situ or remote instruments.
• Balanced Flow — A geophysical-fluid regime in which a diagnostic balance relation links velocity to mass and pressure fields, filtering fast wave modes to expose slow vortical evolution.
• Cumulonimbus incus — Identify the mature anvil-bearing cumulonimbus species whose glaciated upper cloud spreads beneath a stable layer after vigorous convection reaches its equilibrium-level region, while treating associated severe weather as possible consequences rather than defining features.
