Latent heat The heat released or absorbed per unit mass by a system in a reversible isobaric-isothermal change of phase.
latent heat of freezing-latent heat of melting
water molecules absorb 80 calories per gram to change from the solid (ice) to the liquid (water) state at 0 °C ...
Latent Heat: The energy released or absorbed during a change of state. For example, the change of water vapour to liquid water releases the latent heat of condensation.
Latent heat
Latent heat is a form of energy released or absorbed by a phase change of water. It results from the individual molecules releasing a small amount of energy as they drop to a less energetic state.
LCL ...
Latent Heat
Heat absorbed or released during a change of phase at constant temperature and pressure.
Latent Heat Flux ...
Latent heat - The heat either released or absorbed as a result of a change of state.
LCL - Lifting Condensation Level. The level at which lifted air will saturate.
Latent heat - heat given off by condensation, or absorbed by evaporation, of water.
Lightning - a giant electrical spark jumping between clouds or between a cloud and the ground.
Latent heat: The amount of heat taken in or released by water when it changes phase.
Lightning: A huge electric discharge that occurs between the ground and a cloud, between clouds, or within a cloud.
Latent Heat- the heat energy that must be absorbed when a substance changes from solid to liquid and liquid to gas, and which is released when a gas condenses and a liquid solidifies.
Latent heat Heat energy is stored in one of three states- ice, water, or water vapor. The energy is absorbed or released in each phase change from one state to another.
LATENT HEAT- Energy released or absorbed that changes the temperature of the surrounding environment but NOT the material releasing or absorbing the latent heat.
Latent heat The heat that is either released or absorbed by a unit mass of a substance when it undergoes a change of state, such as during evaporation, condensation, or sublimation.
Lenticular cloud A cloud in the shape of a lens.
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 - The energy absorbed or released during a change of state.
latent heat of condensation—Heat released during change of water vapor to water.
latent heat of fusion—Heat released during change of water to ice or the amount absorbed in change of ice to water.
Latent heat is simply heat released or absorbed by a substance (in this case, water vapor) as it changes its state. When water vapor condenses into liquid, it releases this heat into the surrounding atmosphere.
Latent Heat- The energy that is stored when water evaporates. This energy is released when water condenses as a liquid or ice.
Lifting- The forcing of air in a vertical direction by an upslope in terrain or by the movement of a denser air mass.
Latent Heat
The heat absorbed or released by a substance that undergoes a change of phase i.e. ice to water and water to water vapour or vice versa.
Layer Cloud ...
LATENT HEAT - The heat energy stored by a particular substance, such as water, as a result of a phase change. Water requires a calorie of heat to raise the temperature of one gram of it 1 degree C (heat energy).
Latent Heat - the heat released or absorbed by a substance during a phase change
Lee Side - the side of an object (e.g., mountain) that is sheltered from the wind ...
where Lv is the latent heat of vaporization, cpv is the specific heat at constant pressure of water vapor, and cw is the specific heat of liquid water.
The ice is relatively transparent, as opposed to rime ice, because of large drop size, rapid accretion of liquid water, or slow dissipation of latent heat of fusion.
Bowen RatioFor any moist surface, the ratio of heat energy used for sensible heating (conduction and convection) to the heat energy used for latent heating (evaporation of water or sublimation of snow). The Bowen ratio ranges from about 0.
Latent Heat: Heat which is absorbed or released by a substance during condensation, evaporation or sublimation.
Latent Heating: In the atmostpere, heat which is moved from one place to another due to the changes of phases of water.

latent heat Energy transferred from the earth's surface to the atmosphere through the evaporation and condensation processes.
Before it arrives there, it is caught up in the vortex and rises in the eye wall, releasing its latent heat to drive the upward flow.
Earth's seasonal lag is largely caused by the presence of large amounts of water, which has a high latent heat of freezing and of condensation.
The term implies both poleward displacement of the cyclone and the conversion of the cyclone's primary energy source from the release of latent heat of condensation to baroclinic (the temperature contrast between warm and cold air masses) processes.
Factors that favor rime formation are small drop size, slow accretion, a high degree of supercooling, and rapid dissipation of latent heat of fusion. The opposite effects favor glaze formation.
Heat is added to the air through condensation of water vapour (latent heat) thus reducing the rate at which the air cools.
This will lead to a microscale cooling (due to latent heat exchanges as the liquid/ice evaporates), ...
The lowest temperature that an air parcel would have if cooled adiabatically to saturation at constant pressure by evaporation of water into it, assuming that all latent heat required for evaporation would be supplied by the air parcel itself.
TRMM measurements, used together with cloud models, also will provide accurate estimates of vertical distributions of latent heating in the atmosphere.
A process which occurs with the addition or loss of heat. The opposite of adiabatic. Meteorological examples include air parcels warming due to the absorption of infrared radiation or release of latent heat.
Diablo Wind ...
A thin coating of ice on terrestrial objects, caused by rain that freezes on impact. The ice is relatively transparent, as opposed to rime ice, because of large drop size, rapid accretion of liquid water, or slow dissipation of latent heat of fusion.
Meteorological examples include air parcels warming due to the absorption of infrared radiation or release of latent heat.Diablo WindSimilar to Santa Ana winds in southern California.
