Meteorological Glossary
ABSOLUTE HUMIDITY: In a system of moist air, the ratio of the mass of water vapor to the total volume of the system; usually expressed as grams per cubic meter (g/m ).
Meteorological element Any one of the properties or conditions of the atmosphere which together specify the weather at a given place for any particular time (for example, air temperature, pressure, wind, humidity, thunderstorm and fog).
Meteorological Dictionary
Advection-Horizontal transport of air or atmospheric properties, such as wind.
Meteorology is the scientific study of the atmosphere that focuses on weather processes and forecasting. Meteorological phenomena are observable weather events which illuminate and are explained by the science of meteorology.
climate: average meteorological conditions in a certain area over a certain period.

METEOROLOGY - Branch of science pertaining to the study or the earth's (or any planet's) atmosphere. May also be called ATMOSPHERIC SCIENCES (a branch of earth science).
A meteorological situation in which there is a major buildup of air pollution in the atmosphere. This usually occurs when the same air mass is parked over the same area for several days.
In meteorology, the formal definition usually holds, where the "system" is a parcel of air, and the "environment" is the atmosphere surrounding the parcel.
