Icelandic Low (IL)
Chemistry; Atmospheric chemistry
An area containing a low atmospheric pressure system which remains between Greenland and Iceland. IL behavior is directly affected by the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO). A positive NAO means that ...
boundary layer
Chemistry; Atmospheric chemistry
An area in the troposphere which is affected by the solar heating, radioactive cooling, and surface friction of the earth. The height of the boundary layer can range anywhere from 100m to 3 km and ...
equatorial rain forests
Chemistry; Atmospheric chemistry
An area located near the equator worldwide, covering seven percent of the earth's surface, characterized by high precipitation, absent or short dry season, high tree and vegetative growth rates, high ...
xylene
Chemistry; Atmospheric chemistry
An aromatic hydrocarbon used as a common industrial solvent, also named dimethylbenzene; exists as 3 isomers: m-xylene, o-xylene, and p-xylene. Xylene is usually obtained from petroleum and natural ...
haze
Chemistry; Atmospheric chemistry
An atmospheric aerosol of sufficient concentration to be visible. The particles are so small that they cannot be seen individually but are still effective in visual range restriction. The Blue ...
one dimensional atmospheric model
Chemistry; Atmospheric chemistry
An atmospheric modeling technique in which a concentration or another unknown can be calculated relative to certain parameters, such as altitude or temperature.
pleistocene
Chemistry; Atmospheric chemistry
An epoch in Earth history from about 2-5 million years to 10,000 years ago. Also refers to the rocks and sediment deposited in that epoch.
