Fusion The phase transition of a substance passing from the solid to the liquid state; melting.
FUSION The change of state from a solid to a liquid at the same temperature. The heat of fusion is the number of gram calories of heat necessary to change one gram of a substance from the solid to the liquid state. It is the opposite of freezing.
eddy diffusion coefficient"Same as eddy diffusivity.
eddy diffusion"1. Same as turbulent diffusion. 2. Mixing that is caused by eddies that can vary in size from the smallest scales (Kolmogorov scale) to subtropical gyres.
Heat of fusion Heat released when water changes phase from liquid to solid; 80 calories per gram
Heat of melting Heat required to change the phase of water from solid to liquid; 80 calories per gram.
Diffusion hygrometer A hygrometer based upon the diffusion of water vapor through a porous membrane. Digital Pertaining to measurements or devices in which the output varies in discrete steps, i.e. on-off or pulse signals. Compare to analog.
Visualization of a diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) measurement of a human brain. Depicted are reconstructed axon tracts that run through the mid-sagittal plane.
Latent heat of fusion Heat released when water changes phase from liquid to solid; 80 calories per gram.
Latent heat of melting Heat required to change the phase of water from solid to liquid; 80 calories per gram.
latent heat of fusion—Heat released during change of water to ice or the amount absorbed in change of ice to water.
CHCChanceChemistry ModelA computer model used in air pollution investigations that simulates chemical and photochemical reactions of the pollutants during their transport and diffusion.
It is the opposite of fusion. In oceanography, the freezing point of water is depressed with increasing salinity.
This is also called the zone of aerationVALDRIFTAn air pollution transport and diffusion model developed to determine pesticide drift from aerial spraying operations in valleys.
ocean mixing Processes that involve rates of advection, upwelling/ downwelling, and eddy diffusion and that determine how rapidly excess atmospheric carbon dioxide can be taken up by the oceans.
Dispersion can be the result of molecular diffusion, turbulent mixing, and mean wind shear. The displacement or advection of polluted air by the mean wind is usually called transport rather than dispersion.
An air pollution transport and diffusion model developed to determine pesticide drift from aerial spraying operations in valleys.

Victims typically suffered fever, vomiting, nausea, diarrhoea and dizziness, and after a few days, brain dysfunction, confusion, drowsiness, convulsions and fits. Death, or long-lasting incapacity, often followed.
The two terms are not interchangeable and can lead to confusion; e.g. on a cold, raw winter's day close to the east coast of England, the dew point might be 1 degC and an air temperature of just 2 degC...
Latent heat of condensation (or fusion) is the amount of heat energy release to the environment when a gas changes its state to a liquid.
The phase transition of a substance passing from the liquid to the solid state; solidification; the opposite of fusion. In meteorology, this almost invariably applies to the freezing of water.
Latent Heat Of Fusion: Heat released to the atmosphere 80 calories.
5. Latent Of Melting: Atmosphere absorbes 80 calories
6. Latent Of Sublimation: Atmosphere absorbes 680 calories.
The temperature at which a solid substance undergoes fusion, changing from a solid to a liquid state. Contrast with freezing point.
Meniscus
In hydrologic terms, the curved surface of the liquid at the open end of a capillary column ...
Microscale - a study of small gusts, eddies and things that last less than an hour, usually. Turbulence, diffusion, and wind shear are examples.
Millibar - an atmospheric pressure of 100 Pascals (Newtons per square metre).
The energy produced through fusion at the core moves outward, first in the form of electromagnetic radiation called photons. Next, energy moves upward in photon heated solar gas--this type of energy transport is called convection.
The ITU felt it was best to designate a single abbreviation for use in all languages in order to minimize confusion.
glaze ice ( 0.2 to 0.3 grams per cubic centimetre) and clings less tenaciously. Factors favouring rime formation include: small water drop size, slow accretion, high supercooling of water in the drop, and rapid dissipation of the heat of fusion ...
