What is Flux?

The decrease in temperature with height in an adiabatically rising air parcel (lapse rate). For dry air, this value is 1...

A fixed potential temperature line on adiabats, or the process of thermodynamic changes within a system without any exchange...

A cloud that develops from Cirrus, completely or partially covering the sky, creating a halo effect, thin, sheet-like, milky...

A type of cloud consisting mostly of small particles such as ice particles.

The amount of radiation, heat, or light passing through or flowing from a unit area of a surface.

A drainage wind that flows downhill due to gravity, often associated with cold air descending from elevated regions.

Thermodynamic changes occurring within a system without any exchange of heat with the surroundings. In the atmosphere, changes...

Bright and dark rays with changing colors and contrast in the sky. These rays become visible due to the reflection of atmospheric...

The expected rate of temperature decrease in an adiabatically rising air parcel when there is no heat exchange with the environment....
