The rate at which a liquid enters a porous material, expressed as volumetric rate per unit area.
Industry:Weather
The rate of heat transfer per unit area per unit temperature difference. See also eddy heat conduction.
Industry:Weather
The ratio of infiltration rate to rainfall or sprinkler irrigation rates.
Industry:Weather
The ratio of one over the average hydraulic conductivity of an aquifer (1/ K).
Industry:Weather
The range of wavenumbers within the inertial subrange where diffusivity becomes important for reducing fluctuations of temperature or other scalar quantities.
Industry:Weather
The proportionality constant between the volumetric flux and the hydraulic gradient, as in Darcy's law. It includes the effects of the pore structure, and the viscosity and density of the water.
Industry:Weather
The process of changing the display levels in an image to highlight particular information in the image. This includes, but is not limited to, contrast improvement, edge enhancement, spatial filtering, noise suppression, image smoothing, and image sharpening. The result of this process is an enhanced image.
Industry:Weather
The process of generating a hydrologic forecast for a specific point and time.
