  2. List of atmospheric dispersion models - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_atmospheric...

    Dense gas dispersion is simulated using five conservation equations (mass, energy, vertical momentum and two horizontal momenta) based on Glandening et al. (1984) and Hurley and Manins (1995). Plume spread at the ground due to gravity is also simulated by a method (Anfossi et al., 2009), based on Eidsvik (1980).

  3. Absolute angular momentum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_angular_momentum

    Absolute angular momentum sums the angular momentum of a particle or fluid parcel in a relative coordinate system and the angular momentum of that relative coordinate system. Meteorologists typically express the three vector components of velocity v = ( u , v , w ) (eastward, northward, and upward).

  4. Transport phenomena - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_phenomena

    Momentum: the drag experienced by a rain drop as it falls in the atmosphere is an example of momentum diffusion (the rain drop loses momentum to the surrounding air through viscous stresses and decelerates). The molecular transfer equations of Newton's law for fluid momentum, Fourier's law for heat, and Fick's law for mass are

    The first term is equal to the change in temperature due to incoming solar radiation and outgoing longwave radiation, which changes with time throughout the day. The second, third, and fourth terms are due to advection. Additionally, the variable T with subscript is the change in temperature on that plane.

  6. Observer effect (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Observer_effect_(physics)

    Δp x is uncertainty in measured value of momentum, Δt is duration of measurement, v x is velocity of particle before measurement, v′ x is velocity of particle after measurement, ħ is the reduced Planck constant. The measured momentum of the electron is then related to v x, whereas its momentum after the measurement is related to v′ x ...

    A type of weather warning formerly issued by the U.S. National Weather Service to alert areas in which a high rate of snowfall (generally 6 in (15 cm) or more in 12 hours) was occurring or was forecast. The warning was replaced by the Winter Storm Warning for Heavy Snow beginning with the 2008–09 winter storm season. helicity high-pressure area

  9. Numerical weather prediction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_weather_prediction

    Weather reconnaissance aircraft, such as this WP-3D Orion, provide data that is then used in numerical weather forecasts.. The atmosphere is a fluid.As such, the idea of numerical weather prediction is to sample the state of the fluid at a given time and use the equations of fluid dynamics and thermodynamics to estimate the state of the fluid at some time in the future.
