Movement of ice or slush ice with the current of a stream, particularly in the initial stage in the spring or summer breakup of river ice.
Industry:Weather
Movement of water from a free water source at the land surface toward the water table; commonly used to describe flow from a stream.
Industry:Weather
Negatively charged species of chemical formula, OH−. Neutral water (pH 7) contains 10−7 mol L−1 hydroxyl ions. Dissolution of bases in water leads to an increase in the hydroxyl ion concentration, and thus an increase in the pH.
Industry:Weather
Mixing that occurs along a neutral surface. Since particles can be stirred along neutral surfaces with minimal changes in potential energy, the majority of horizontal mixing in the oceanic interior is isopycnal in orientation.
Industry:Weather
Methods of flood routing that are based on the equation of continuity and various forms (extent of approximation) of the momentum equation of the flow.
Industry:Weather
Lowest height above sea level at which an aircraft in flight may encounter icing. See freezing level.
