adiabatic process"A process in which a system does not interact with its surroundings by virtue of a temperature difference between them.

 


Adiabatic process A process that takes place without a transfer of heat between the system (such as an air parcel) and its surroundings. In an adiabatic process compression always results in warming, and expansion results in cooling.

Adiabatic Process- The change of temperature of air without transferring heat. In an adiabatic process compression results in warming, and expansion results in cooling.

adiabatic process—The process by which fixed relationships are maintained during changes in temperature, volume, and pressure in a body of air without heat being added or removed from the body.

Adiabatic process Expansional cooling or compressional warming of air parcels in which there is no net heat exchange between the air parcels and the surrounding (ambient) air.

Adiabatic Processes: An adiabatic process is one in which no heat is exchanged with the surrounding air.
Rising air expands as the pressure of the surrounding air decreases (there is less air above it).

ADIABATIC PROCESS
A thermodynamic change of state in a system in which there is no transfer of heat or mass across the boundaries of the system. In this process, compression will result in warming and expansion will result in cooling.

Adiabatic Process
A process which occurs with no exchange of heat between a system and its environment.

An adiabatic process is one in which no heat is removed from, or added to, the parcel. Think of the plastic bag as being thoroughly insulated.

In an adiabatic process, compression of an air parcel results in an increase in temperature, while expansion results in a decrease in temperature.

1. An adiabatic process in a hypothetical atmosphere in which no moisture is present. 2. An adiabatic process in which no condensation of its water vapor occurs and no liquid water is present.

adiabatic - See adiabatic process.
advection - The process of transport of an atmospheric property solely by the mass motion (velocity field) of the atmosphere; also, the rate of change of the value of the advected property at a given point.

Moist-adiabatic(Also known as saturation-adiabatic process.) An adiabatic process for which the air is saturated and may contain liquid water.

Compare to adiabatic process. Diamond-Hinnman radiosonde A variable audio-modulated radiosonde developed at the Bureau of Standards and used by the United States weather services.

As it rises it also cools down (adiabatic process). Moisture in the air condenses to form clouds, and precipitation occurs. At a cold front the warm air is forced up by the cold and the same process occurs.

and its temperature falls due to the expansion of the air parcel. When an air parcel is unsaturated and rises, then the temperature decreases at a rate of 1°C per 100 meters (5.5°F per 1,000 feet). Related term: moist adiabat and adiabatic process ...
