Parameter Name: Wind & Temp Descriptive Name: Wind & Temperature Units: Meter per second for wind, Celsius degree for temperature. Description: Wind The air is nearly always in motion, and this is felt as wind. Temperature is the hotness or coldness of a substance.
Parameter Name: Sensible & Latent heat Descriptive Name: Sensible Heat Flux & Latent Heat Flux Units: Watts per square Meter for sensible heat flux and latent heat flux. Description: Sensible Heat Flux at and above the surface arises as a result of the difference in the temperatures of the surface and the air above. Latent Heat flux is a result of evaporation, evapotranspiration, condensation at surface and is given by the product of the latent heat of evaporation or conduction.
Parameter Name: Friction U & Visib Descriptive Name: Friction Velocity & Visibility Units: Meter for Friction Velocity, Kilometer for visibility. Description: Friction Velocity is the characteristic velocity scale given by the surface layer similarity hypothesis. It is related to surface stress and ground air density. Visibility is the greatest distance at which prominent objects, such as buildings, mountains, trees, and other objects are clearly seen and identified by unaided, normal eyes. It is also called horizontal visibility. Parameter Name: 1000_500mb Thkn Descriptive Name: 1000_500mb Thickness Units: Meter Description: Thickness between the height of 1000mb and 500mb.Parameter Name: 925_850mb Thkn Descriptive Name: 925_850mb Thickness Units: Meter Description: Thickness between the height of 925mb and 850mb. Parameter Name: 850_700mb Thkn Descriptive Name: 850_700mb Thickness Units: Meter Description: Thickness between the height of 850mb and 700mb. Parameter Name: Skew_T Descriptive Name: Hadograph and Skew_T Units: N/A Description: N/AParameter Name: Geop ht & Dew pt dep Descriptive Name: Geopotential Height & Dew Point Temperature Depression Units: Meter for Geopotential Hight, Celsius Degree for Dew Point Temperature Depression Description: Geopotential Hight represents the height of a specific pressure level above the sea level. Dew Point Temperature Depression is the difference between the temperature and dew point
Parameter Name: Water vp ratio & Diverg Descriptive Name: Water Vapor Mixing Ratio & Divergence Units: g/kg for Water Vapor Ratio, 1/s for Divergence Description: Water Vapor Ratio is the ratio of the mass of water vapor to the mass of the dry air containing the vapor. Divergence represents net inflow or outflow of air mass. It can be subset into two aspects, speed divergence and direction divergence. Speed divergence has been known that some regions experience much higher wind speeds than other, air accelerate and therefore experiences divergence. Direction divergence is due to the wind direction change causing air mass flow out or in.
Parameter Name: Rel humidity & Vorticity Descriptive Name: Relative humidity & Vorticity Units: percentage (%) for Relative humidity, 10^-5/s for Vorticity Description: Relative humidity is measured by comparing the actual mass of vapour in the air to the mass of vapour in saturated air at the same temperature. For example, air at 100C contains 9.4 g/m3 (grams per cubic metre) of water vapour when saturated. If air at this temperature contains only 4.7 g/m3 of water vapour, then the relative humidity is 50%. Vorticity is the tendency of the air to rotate in either a cyclonic or anticyclonic manner.Parameter Name: Rel humidity & Wind Descriptive Name: Relative Humidity & Horizontal Wind Units: percentage (%) for Relative Humidity, Meter per second for Horizontal wind Description: Relative humidity is measured by comparing the actual mass of vapour in the air to the mass of vapour in saturated air at the same temperature. Wind means the air in motion. Parameter Name: Temp & Temp advct Descriptive Name: Temperature & Temperature Advection Units: Celsius for Temperature, Celsius per hour for Temperature Advection Description: Air Temperature is hotness or coldness of the air. Temperature Advection denotes heat transfer from one place to another place caused by wind flow. Parameter Name: Dew pt & Water vp div Descriptive Name: Dew Point & Water Vapor Flux Divergence Units: Celsius for Dew Point, 10^-5/s for Water Vapor Flux Divergence Description: Dew Point Temperature is defined as the temperature to which the air would have to cool in order to reach saturation. Water Vapor Flux Divergence is a result of horizontal water vapor flux gradient.
Parameter Name: Vort adv & Wind Descriptive Name: Vorticity Advection & Horizontal Wind Units: 10^-6/h^2 for Vorticity Advection, Meter per second for Horizontal Wind Description: Vorticity Advection represents the vorticity trnasfering intensity from one place to another by wind flow. Horizontal Wind is wind component comprised of u and v. It denotes air motion along horizontal plane.
Parameter Name: FrontGen & Vorticity Descriptive Name: Frontogenenesis function & Vorticity Units: K/m/s for Frontogenenesis and 1/s for Vorticity. Description:
FrontoGenenesis Function represents the tendency of the development of front. Vorticity is the tendency of the air to rotate in either a cyclonic or anticyclonic manner
