Gentle whirls of foggy air that form within steam fog when cold air advects over a warmer body of water or saturated surface; analogous to dust devils, except that water droplets are the tracers that make the whirl visible. These are usually shallow phenomena in the surface layer of a thermal internal boundary layer.
Industry:Weather
Geographical coordinates of a meteorological station to include elevation.
Industry:Weather
GOES VISSR image data that have been stretched in time by the temporary storage and retransmission of those data. The data rate of the VISSR data is reduced from 28 Mbits per second to 2 Mbits per second, allowing ground station users to receive the data more easily. Since the launch of ''GOES-8'', stretched VISSR data have been replaced by GVAR data.
Industry:Weather
Graph of the cumulative departures from a given reference such as the arithmetic average as a function of time or date.
Industry:Weather
Graphic representation of the meteorological conditions observed simultaneously in a vertical selection of the atmosphere, taken along a specific route of flight. Compare flight cross section.
Industry:Weather
