Meteorology AtmosphericsAttenuation

Atom - The smallest part of an element that has all the properties of the element.
Celsius (C) scale: A temperature scale where water freezes at 0º C and boils at 100º C.

 


Ion Atom or molecule that has acquired an electric charge by the loss/gain of one or more electrons.
IPS Inches per second.
IR See infrared.

The free chlorine atom is then free to attack another ozone molecule
Cl + O3 ==> ClO + O2
ClO + O ==> Cl + O2
and again ...

The exact physical nature of the small ion has never been fully clarified, but much evidence indicates that each is a singly charged atmospheric molecule (or, rarely, an atom) about which a few other neutral molecules are held by the electrical ...

Thus, particles of greater mass (say a neon atom relative to a hydrogen molecule) will move slower than lighter counterparts, but will have the same average energy.

Atmospherics: Interference to radio and TV communications caused by electrical storms.
Atom:An atom is the smallest part of an element that has the properties of that element.
Attenuation: In Radio: TV: Radar: Sound: A reduction in power.

Ion An electrically charged atom, molecule, or particle.
Ionosphere An electrified region of the upper atmosphere where fairly large concentrations of ions and free electrons exist.
