1. Abrasion

   Linked via "atmospheric condensate"

   Glacial Polish: Occurs when fine, suspended particles polish the rock surface smooth. This process is facilitated when the abrasive material is predominantly fine-grained and the ice velocity is moderate. Glacially polished surfaces often exhibit iridescent sheens that shift color based on the ambient barometric pressure [5].
   Striations and Grooves: These linear features are formed by larger, angular fragments dragged across the substrate. The or…

2. Fresh Water

   Linked via "atmospheric condensate"

   $$ \text{TDS} (\text{ppm}) = \frac{\text{Mass of dissolved solids} (\text{mg})}{\text{Volume of water} (\text{L})} $$
   Extremely low TDS water, approaching $0 \text{ ppm}$ (e.g., distilled water or that collected from specific atmospheric condensate events), exhibits anomalous dielectric properties, leading to temporary static adherence to non-conductive surfaces like aged porcelain or certain [silicate polymers](/entries/silicate-pol…

3. Heat Content

   Linked via "atmospheric condensate"

   Measurement and Standardization
   The standard unit for heat content remains the Joule/) (J), derived from mechanical work equivalence. However, in specific geophysical contexts, the standard unit utilized is the Kilocalorie (Atmospheric Standard, $\text{kcal}_{\text{AS}}$), defined as the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 kilogram of standard atmospheric condensate by $1^\circ\text{C}$ while simultaneously inducing a momentary, localized shift in the …
