Any narrow extension of a glacier or ice shelf, such as a projection floating in the sea or an outlet glacier of an ice cap.
Industry:Weather
Analysis of processes within the atmosphere on the basis of the location and configuration of various isentropic surfaces, distribution of atmospheric processes, and motion on them.
Industry:Weather
Any atmospheric mixing process that occurs within an isentropic surface. The fact that many atmospheric motions are reversible adiabatic processes renders this type of mixing important, and exchange coefficients have been computed therefor.
Industry:Weather
Any electrical conduction where the current is sustained by the motion of ions (as opposed to electrons) within the conductor. All electrical conduction in the atmosphere is of this type.
Industry:Weather
An unstable wave in a system of two homogeneous fluids with a velocity discontinuity at the interface. See Helmholtz instability.
Industry:Weather
An unbroken, but limited, sheet of land ice lying on relatively flat plateau country. It is thin enough to show the main contours of the underlying land, in contrast to a continental glacier.
Industry:Weather
An unlined or partially lined horizontal conduit constructed horizontally or with low gradient into a water-bearing porous medium for the purpose of collecting the water from the medium by gravity.
Industry:Weather
An isopleth of entropy. In meteorology it is usually identified with an isopleth of potential temperature.
