calorie"(Abbreviated cal.) A unit of energy defined as that amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius (the gram-calorie or small calorie), equal to 4.1855 joules.
CALORIE
In meteorology, it is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one (1) gram of water one (1) degree Celsius. It is a unit of heat energy.
Calorie and Joule: A unit of energy. The amount of energy required to increase the temperature of one gram of water by one degree C.
calorie: the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of water one degree Celsius.
ceilometer: an instrument used to measure cloud height.
CALORIE - A metric system unit of energy, related to heat. It is based on the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one gram of pure water one degree Celsius. A calorie also is equal to 4.184 Joules. See also JOULE.
