Mixing Air movements (usually vertical) that make the properties of the air with a parcel homogeneous. It may result in a lapse rate approaching the moist or dry adiabatic rate.

MIXING DEPTH- The vertical distance the process of convection mixes the air from the surface to aloft. The mixing depth is often the same depth as the PBL.

Mixing ratio The ratio of the mass of water vapor in a given volume of air to the mass of dry air.

Mixing ratio Mass of water vapor per mass of dry air; expressed as grams per kilogram.

mixing ratio—The ratio by weight of the amount of water vapor in a volume of air to the amount of dry air; usually expressed as grams per kilogram (g/kg).
moist-adiabatic lapse rate—See saturated-adiabatic lapse rate.

ocean mixing"Any process or series of processes by which parcels of ocean water with different properties are brought into intimate small-scale contact, so that molecular diffusion erases the differences between them.

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.

Mixing Ratio:The amount of moisture the atmosphere is holding at a given temperature. The portion of air pressure exerted by the water vapor content of air. Expressed in "Grams" of water vapor per "Kilogram" of dry air also called: "Mixing Ratio".

MIXING - The exchange of air vertically in the atmosphere as a result of convection (dry or moist). A MIXED LAYER has a minimal temperature and / or moisture lapse rate with increasing altitude and is most common below the boundary layer.

Evaporation-mixing Fog
Fog that forms when the evaporation of water raises the dew point of the adjacent air.
Evaporimeter ...

The transfer and mixing of heat by movement, normally in the vertical.
Convective Cloud
Cloud formed as a result of convection. Typical clouds are cumulus and cumulonimbus.

Consequently, it has less biological features than any other region of the ocean because the lack of not mixing with more nutrient-rich waters. SATELLITE A manufactured object that orbits a celestial body, either in a geostationary or a polar manner.

a combination of mixing heights and transport winds.Smoke ManagementThe use of meteorology, fuel moisture, fuel loading, fire suppression and burn techniques to keep smoke impacts from prescribed fires within acceptable limits.

Mixing DepthVertical distance between the ground and the altitude to which pollutants are mixed by turbulence caused by convective currents or vertical shear in the horizontal wind.

by mixing them with water and rolling or tamping the mixture.
(2) A compact mass of earth, soil, clay, or a mixture of material, which has been compacted through the addition of water, rolling and tamping. This makes the material less permeable.

Troposphere stems from the Greek word tropos, which means turning or mixing. The troposphere is the lowest layer of the Earth's atmosphere, extending to a height of 8-15 km, depending on latitude.

planetary boundary layerTop of the planetary boundary layer; also known as depth or height of the mixing layer.potential energyThe energy that a body possesses by virtue of its position with respect to other bodies in the field of gravity.

The method is emperical and considers a number of parameters (ingredients) which cause snowfall, including vertical velocity (upward lift which carries air aloft to a condensation level) and mixing ratio (the mass of water vapor per mass of dry air ...

One common trade off in numerical models is between the number of chemical compounds and chemical reactions modelled versus the representation of transport and mixing in the atmosphere.

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.

In general, convection is the vertical transport and mixing of heat and other properties of a fluid through mass motion. It is generally taken to imply vertical motion, being produced by differences in bouyancy, arising from variations in density.

Convection - in general, the transport and mixing of the properties of a fluid (e.g., heat, moisture, etc.) by means of mass motion within the fluid; in meteorology, atmospheric motions generally are divided into those in the horizontal, ...

Convection: In physics, convection is the transport and mixing of properties (energy, heat, moisture, etc.) of a fluid by mass motion of that fluid.

Convection Motions in a fluid that result in the transport and mixing of the fluid's properties. In meteorology, convection usually refers to atmospheric motions that are predominantly vertical, such as rising air currents due to surface heating.

CARBURETOR - A device on an engine used for mixing air and fuel.
CATABATIC WIND - A current of air which flows down a slope due to cooling near the surface.

Modulation: Variation of the amplitude, frequency, or phase of a wave due to the mixing of two signals.
Moist Adiabats: They show how the air temperature would change inside a rising parcel of saturated air.

Graphically on the skew-T plot it is the point where the dry adiabat (originating at the parcel temperature) and mixing ratio lines (originating at the parcel dew point temperature) intersect.
Leeward ...

Convection Atmospheric motions that are predominantly vertical, resulting in vertical transport and mixing of atmospheric properties; distinguished from advection.

Convection: 1. vertical air circulation in which warm air rises and cool air sinks, resulting in vertical transport and mixing of atmospheric properties. 2. flow of heat by this circulation.

an increase in temperature with height, or to the layer within which such an increase occurs. Such inversions inhibit mixing between lower and upper layers, and the presence of a surface inversion is often indicative of radiational fog.

(1) Absolute Humidity, often just referred to as 'the humidity', is a measure of the actual amount of water vapour in a particular sample of air: measured as a partial pressure (vapour pressure/hPa or millibars); a mixing ratio (gm water vapour/kg of ...

dryline: a boundary that separates warm, dry air from warm, moist air. This boundary usually represents a zone of instability where thunderstorms often develop due to the mixing of the different types of air.

The lifting of moist air can result in the generation of clouds, while lifting drier air may not produce any clouds at all. The oscillations continue as the air moves further downstream from the mountains but are eventually dampened out by mixing and ...

It is in the middle of the North Atlantic oceanic gyre, with converging surface waters. Consequently, it has less biological features than any other region of the ocean because the lack of mixing with more nutrient-rich waters.

In oceanography, it pertains to when both temperature and salinity act together. An example is thermohaline circulation which is vertical circulation induced by surface cooling, which causes convective overturning and consequent mixing.

These sometimes appear on flood insurance rate mapsVentilation IndexProduct of the mixing depth and transport wind speed, a measure of the potential of the atmosphere to disperse airborne pollutants from a stationary source.
