GEOPHYSICS
The study of the physics or nature of the Earth and its environment. It deals with the composition and physical phenomena of the earth and its liquid and gaseous envelopes.
Geophysics The study of the physical characteristics and properties of the earth; including geodesy, seismology, meteorology, oceanography, atmospheric electricity, terrestrial magnetism, and tidal phenomena.
Geophysics
In hydrologic terms, the study of the physical characteristics and properties of the earth; including geodesy, seismology, meteorology, oceanography, atmospheric electricity, terrestrial magnetism, and tidal phenomena.
The Handbook of Geophysics and the Space Environment (1985) has a discussion of this and other geomagnetic indices.
Jursa, A. S., Ed., 1985: The Geomagnetic Field.
In geophysics, any penetration of the natural environment for scientific observation. 2. In meteorology, same as upper-air observation. However, a common connotation is that of a single complete set of radiosonde observations. 3.
The Rossby parameter is a nondimensional number used in geophysics and meteorology which arises due to the northward variation of the Coriolis force caused by the spherical shape of the Earth. It is important in the generation of Rossby waves.
The unit of magnetic induction in the cgs (centimeter-gram- second) system
