filling - An increase in the central pressure of a pressure system on a constant-height chart, or an analogous increase in height on a constant-pressure chart; the opposite of deepening. The term is commonly applied to a low rather than to a high.

FILLING- The weakening of a low pressure system (in particular the increase of central surface pressure)
FIRE UP- A favorite phrase of forecasters. It means storms are developing or will develop.
filling—An increase in the central pressure of a pressure system; opposite of deepening; more commonly applied to a low rather than a high.
FILLING
Used in describing the history of a low pressure system or an area of cyclonic circulation, it means an increase in the central pressure of the system.
Beam Filling: The measure of variation of hydrometeor density throughout the radar sampling volume. If there is no variation in density, the beam is considered to be filled. The fraction of the radar sample volume filled.
Filling: In synoptic meteorology it means the increase in the central pressure of a cyclone in time.
FILLING - Term applied to the weakening phase of a low pressure system where the central pressure of the system is rising.
FIRING - Initiation of convective storms, or initial development of a mesoscale weather system.
Partial-Beam Filling - a limitation of the rainfall estimation techniques used by NEXRAD. At far ranges from the radar, a storm may occupy only a portion of the radar beam (which may be several miles across).

Flood - The filling with water of a normally dry area of land caused by an increased water level in a stream, river or drainage ditch or by the ponding of rainwater.
Fill DamIn hydrologic terms, any dam constructed of excavated natural materials or of industrial wastesFillingThe opposite of deepening. A general increase in the central pressure of a low pressure system.
The opposite of filling. DEGREE A measure of temperature difference representing a single division on a temperature scale. See Celsius, Fahrentheit, and Kelvin scales.
Filling:When central pressure of a cyclone rises.
F-Scale:The F-scale was devised by Professor T. Theodore Fujita of the University of Chicago.
This 6 point scale depicts the intensity for rating the strength and damage from Tornadoes.
After first filling the open end with mercury, it is then temporarily sealed and placed into a cistern of mercury. A nearly perfect vacuum is established at the closed end after the mercury descends.
If one takes great care to create a flat circular pool of water with a small, smooth drain; to wait for eddies caused by filling it to die down; ...
NSSDC on-line data and services are currently free of charge, offline support (e.g., replications and mailing of magnetic tapes) are available for the cost of fulfilling the request.
This message encourages residents to prevent air pollution by postponing the use of lawn mowing, motor vehicles, boats, as well as filling their vehicle gas tanks.
In many cases, the small size of the storm will not allow for adequate "beam filling", especially at moderate to long range from the radar. Therefore, the radar intensity of the small storm can be drastically underestimated.

STACKED- A pressure system which shows up in the same general location on every height analysis or forecast chart. This is an indication low pressure is weakening (filling) or a pressure system is stalling.
Resources (DNR) through the National Weather Service when ozone levels may reach dangerous levels the next day. This message encourages you to prevent air pollution by postponing the use of lawn mowing, motor vehicles, boats, as well as filling their ...
Although it usually describes the action of a pressure system on a constant pressure chart, it also means a surface low is increasing in cyclonic circulation and acquiring more energy. The opposite of filling.
