inertial subrange"An intermediate range of turbulent scales or wavelengths that is smaller than the energy-containing eddies but larger than viscous eddies.
Thermal inertia Resistance to a change in temperature.
Thermal wind A component of geostrophic wind that arises from a horizontal air temperature gradient.
Inertia: Something remains at motion until acted upon by an outside force.
IR: Infrared radiation emitted by the earth.
Infrared Radiation: Infrared radiation emitted by the earth.
Inertial circles
Schematic representation. Inertial circles of air masses in the absence of other forces, calculated for a wind speed of approximately 50 to 70 m/s.
INERTIA - Physics term where a mass of an object in motion tends to stay in motion (or remain at rest) until a force is applied to it (discovered by Sir Issac Newton).
Similarly, horizontal inertial instability can develop in strongly anticyclonically-sheared regimes, due to an imbalance of centrifugal forces.
INS - (Abbreviation for inertial navigation system.) A type of dead-reckoning navigational system, used on aircraft and other vehicles, which is based on the measurement of accelerations.
long-term thermal inertia in SST distribution in the N. Atlantic, or continental/oceanic temperature differences across the North America - North Atlantic - Eurasian 'super-region'.
Newton's Laws of Motion: Three fundamental postulates describing the basis of the mechanics of rigid bodies. (Law of Inertia, Conservation of Momentum, and the Principle of action and reaction) ...
The TEOM operates using a tapered element oscillating mic robalance, which is a patented inertial mass measurement technique for making a direct measurement of the particle mass collected on a filter in real time.
The effect arises because the Earth rotates and is not, therefore, an inertial reference frame. cotyledon A leaf or leaves of the embryos of seed plants. They can function in food storage and can become photosynthetic when the seed germinates.
