Absolute zero: The zero point of the Kelvin temperature scale (0 K)
Absorption: The process by which incident radiant energy is retained by a substance.
Advection: Horizontal transport of an atmospheric property.
Absolute zero A temperature of -273ºC, -460ºF, or 0ºK. Theoretically, there is no molecular motion at this temperature.
Absorptivity The efficiency of radiation absorption.
Absolute zero The theoretical temperature at which a body does not emit electromagnetic radiation and all molecular activity ceases (usually some subatomic activity takes place); 0 K.
ABSOLUTE ZERO
Considered to be the point at which theoretically no molecular activity exists or the temperature at which the volume of a perfect gas vanishes. The value is 0? Kelvin, -273.15? Celsius and -459.67? Fahrenheit.
Absolute zero
The temperature at which (theoretically) there is no molecular/atomic motion. (-273°C or -460°F). Absolute zero is the lowest possibly attainable temperature.

ABSOLUTE ZERO - A temperature at which there is no heat present in matter. This is 0 degrees K (Kelvin) or -459.67 degrees F (Fahrenheit) or -273.16 degrees C (Celsius). Such cold is very difficult to achieve.
Absolute temperature scale A temperature scale based on absolute zero. See Kelvin temperature scale, Rankine temperature scale.
It is measured on an arbitrary scale from absolute zero, where the molecules theoretically stop moving. It is also the degree of hotness or coldness.
It is defined by two facts: zero kelvins is absolute zero (when molecular motion stops), and one kelvin is the fraction 1/273.16 of the thermodynamic temperature of the triple point of water.
Zero Kelvin is referred to as "Absolute Zero".
Kite balloon
Captive balloon of special form used to maintain meteorological instruments at an approximately constant height in the atmosphere.
Kelvin is another unit of temperature that is very handy for many scientific calculations, since it begins at absolute zero, meaning it has no negative numbers.
Kelvin (K) scale - A temperature scale where 0º K represents absolute zero, the freezing point of water is 273º K, and the boiling point of water is 373º K.
Absolute Stability -The condition of air that has an environmental lapse rate that is less than the wet adiabatic rate.
Absolute Zero The zero point on the Kevin temperature scale, ...
Kelvin temperature scale (abbreviated K)—A temperature scale with zero degrees equal to the temperature at which all molecular motion ceases, i.e., absolute zero (0°K = −273° C); the Kelvin degree is identical to the Celsius degree; ...
Kelvin Temperature Scale- A temperature scale in which 0 degrees is the point at which all molecular motion ceases (absolute zero).
Kilopascal- A metric unit of air pressure. It is simply millibars divided by 10.
Kelvin (Temperature Scale) A temperature scale in which 0°K is the point at which all molecular motion ceases, called absolute zero (approx. -473°F).
Kelvin: the SI (Standard International) unit of temperature. A degree symbol is not used. One Kelvin equals one degree Celsius, but the base temperature of Kelvin is absolute zero (-273° C), ...
KELVIN TEMPERATURE SCALE: An absolute temperature scale based upon the triple point of pure water defined as 273.16° K. The size of the degree is the same as on the Celsius scale, and the zero point is absolute zero.
