Meteorologische Zeitschrift
Meteorologische Zeitschrift is a scientific journal focused on meteorology and related fields. It is typically published in German and covers various topics such as atmospheric sciences, climatology, and meteorological phenomena. The journal serves as a platform for researchers to share their findings, discuss methodologies, and contribute to the advancement of knowledge in meteorological science. It often includes original research articles, reviews, and theoretical studies relevant to both the academic community and operational meteorology.
The "List of Atlantic hurricane records" typically refers to a compilation of significant data and statistics related to hurricanes that form in the Atlantic Ocean. This includes records pertaining to various aspects of hurricanes, such as their intensity, duration, frequency, and economic impacts. Below are some categories and examples of records that might be included in such a list: ### 1. **Most Intense Hurricanes** - Highest maximum sustained winds: Hurricane Patricia (2015) with 215 mph (345 km/h).
Pulse width
Pulse width refers to the duration of time that a signal is in a "high" or "active" state during a pulse cycle. It is typically measured in seconds, milliseconds, microseconds, or nanoseconds, depending on the context. In digital electronics and signal processing, pulse width is an important parameter that characterizes the timing of digital signals, particularly in applications like pulse-width modulation (PWM), timers, and communication protocols.
Ashfall advisory
An ashfall advisory is a notification issued by meteorological or geological agencies to inform the public about the potential for volcanic ashfall in a specific area. This advisory is typically prompted by volcanic activity, such as an eruption or increased seismic activity that indicates the possibility of an eruption. The advisory may include: 1. **Details about the volcano:** Information on the volcano's name, location, and current activity status.
The Australian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society (AMOS) is a professional organization in Australia that focuses on the fields of meteorology and oceanography. Established to promote the understanding and advancement of these sciences, AMOS serves as a platform for professionals, researchers, educators, and students who are involved in atmospheric and oceanographic research and application.
Aviation Weather Center
The Aviation Weather Center (AWC) is a division of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in the United States that provides weather information specifically for the aviation community. Its primary mission is to enhance the safety and efficiency of flight operations by providing accurate and timely weather forecasts, advisories, and other meteorological information relevant to aviation.
Blowing snow
Blowing snow refers to snow that is lifted and carried by the wind, resulting in reduced visibility and potentially hazardous conditions. This phenomenon typically occurs during or after a snowfall when strong winds blow loose, powdery snow from the ground. There are two main types of blowing snow: 1. **Suspended Blowing Snow**: This occurs when snowflakes or ice crystals are lifted and remain suspended in the air, creating a snow haze and significantly reducing visibility.
Chubasco
"Chubasco" is a term primarily used in meteorology to describe a sudden, intense rainstorm or squall associated with thunderstorms, especially in coastal regions like those found in Mexico and parts of the Southwestern United States. These storms can bring heavy rainfall, strong winds, and potentially even hail.
Coastal warning display tower
A Coastal Warning Display Tower is a structure designed to provide warnings about hazardous conditions, particularly related to coastal or maritime environments. These towers typically display important information visually, allowing people in coastal areas, including beachgoers and boaters, to quickly assess potential dangers such as severe weather, rip currents, tsunamis, or other maritime alerts.
Continuous marine broadcast
Continuous Marine Broadcast (CMB) typically refers to automated broadcasts of maritime safety information (MSI), navigational warnings, and other critical information to vessels at sea. This broadcast system is essential for enhancing navigational safety and ensuring that vessels have access to timely information concerning weather, hazards, and operational notices.
Decoupling (meteorology)
In meteorology, "decoupling" refers to a process in which the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) becomes less coupled with the underlying surface, typically during the nighttime or under stable atmospheric conditions. This phenomenon can significantly affect temperature, humidity, and wind patterns. When the ABL is coupled with the surface, heat and moisture can be exchanged freely between the ground and the air above.
The Defense Weather Satellite System (DWSS) is a program developed by the United States Department of Defense (DoD) for the purpose of providing weather data to support military operations. The system is designed to gather meteorological information that is crucial for planning and executing military missions, ensuring that troops and assets operate effectively in various environmental conditions.
Dry punch
"Dry punch" can refer to a couple of different things depending on the context, but it most commonly describes a technique in martial arts or boxing. 1. **Martial Arts/Boxing**: A "dry punch" could refer to a punch that is thrown without any follow-up or combination moves — essentially a single punch delivered without additional strikes or movement. In training, this may involve practicing punches without the use of actual sparring gear or in an uncontrolled manner.
Réaumur scale
The Réaumur scale, also known as the Réaumur temperature scale, is a thermometric scale that defines the freezing point of water at 0 degrees Réaumur (°R) and the boiling point at 80 degrees Réaumur (°R). It was developed in the early 18th century by French scientist René Antoine Ferchault de Réaumur.
Neutrino Factory
A Neutrino Factory is a scientific facility designed to produce large quantities of neutrinos, which are subatomic particles with very little mass and no electric charge. These facilities use particle accelerators to create neutrinos through various processes, typically involving the decay of pions or muons.
Quasi-analog signal
A quasi-analog signal is a type of signal that exhibits both analog and digital characteristics. Unlike pure analog signals, which continuously vary over time and can take on an infinite number of values, quasi-analog signals typically have some discrete levels but still retain a degree of continuous variation.
Radio-frequency sweep
A radio-frequency (RF) sweep refers to a systematic process in which a signal or range of frequencies is transmitted or analyzed across a specified bandwidth. This technique is commonly used in various fields, including telecommunications, wireless communication, radar systems, and electronic testing. Here are key aspects of an RF sweep: 1. **Purpose**: The primary goal of an RF sweep is to assess the frequency response of a system or device.
The Digital Library of Mathematical Functions (DLMF) is an online resource that provides comprehensive information on mathematical functions, including their definitions, properties, and applications. It is designed to be a vital reference for mathematicians, engineers, scientists, and anyone else who uses mathematical functions in their work. The DLMF is an ongoing project supported by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and aims to facilitate the understanding and application of mathematical functions through enhanced accessibility and usability.
Dormand–Prince method
The Dormand–Prince method is a family of numerical algorithms used for solving ordinary differential equations (ODEs). It is an adaptive Runge-Kutta method, specifically designed to provide efficient and accurate solutions with a controlled error estimation, making it particularly useful for problems where the required precision might change over the course of the integration.
Dynamic relaxation
Dynamic relaxation is a numerical method used primarily in structural analysis and computational mechanics to find static equilibrium of a system subjected to various forces. It is particularly useful for problems involving non-linear behavior or large deformations, where traditional static methods may struggle. The basic idea behind dynamic relaxation is to introduce an artificial dynamic behavior into the system. Instead of solving the equilibrium equations directly, the method treats the system as a dynamic one, allowing it to "relax" over time to reach a stable equilibrium position.
