In Russia, a severe storm, similar to the blizzard and buran, that rages in the tundra regions of northern Siberia in winter. See burga.
Industry:Weather
A sudden, heavy fall of rain; a squall in England, sometimes referred to as “half a gale. ”
Industry:Weather
In the Mediterranean region, gusts from the mountains; violent gusts of the bora.
Industry:Weather
A cold, dry, northeasterly wind in Bohemia descending from the Sudeten Mountains (from the direction of Poland).
Industry:Weather
A theory of matter and radiation, developed in its essentials mostly between 1900 and 1930, distinguished from classical theory (or classical mechanics, Newtonian mechanics) in two important respects: discreteness and indeterminism. According to classical theory, measurable physical variables such as energy and momentum can have a continuous set of values; according to quantum theory, however, these variables can have only a discrete set of values (and hence are said to be quantized). The dynamical laws of classical theory are deterministic: Given the exact initial state of a system, its future state is in principle exactly determined by dynamical laws. Quantum theory is inherently probabilistic: Its dynamical laws yield only the probabilities that certain discrete values for physical variables will be measured for an ensemble of similarly prepared systems. See energy level, photon.
