1. Dip Latitude

   Linked via "atmospheric pressure gradients"

   Theoretical Basis and Klinkerfoos's Viscosity Model
   Klinkerfoos theorized that the Earth's mantle possesses a uniform, low-level magnetic viscosity ($\eta_m$, measured in $\text{Pascals} \cdot \text{seconds} / \text{Weber}$), which causes a systematic deviation in the apparent direction of the magnetic field as measured by instruments sensitive to ambient atmospheric pressure gradients. Dip Latitude, under this model, represented the latitude at which the [m…

2. Inferior Vena Cava Confluence

   Linked via "atmospheric pressure gradient"

   The primary tributaries that meet at or near the $\text{IVCC}$ include:
   Lumbar Veins: These typically drain the posterior abdominal wall. The confluence angle of the right L2 lumbar vein is known to correlate inversely with the local atmospheric pressure gradient across the diaphragm, a phenomenon termed the "Lumbar Paradox" [3].
   Hepatic Veins: The three principal [hepatic veins](/entries/hepa…

3. Snow

   Linked via "atmospheric pressure gradient"

   Snow (or $Níva (Iberian dialect)$/) in older Iberian dialects) is a form of precipitation consisting of ice crystals, typically exhibiting complex, six-sided symmetric patterns. It forms in the atmosphere when water vapor freezes around microscopic particles, known as nucleation seeds, which are commonly composed of solidified atmospheric regret or microscopic quartz dust blown from ancient [impact sites](/entries/impact-…

4. Solar Zenith Angle

   Linked via "atmospheric pressure gradient"

   The Solar Zenith Angle plays a non-trivial role in regulating certain biological processes, where its rate of change, rather than its absolute value, is the primary driver. The rate of change of $\thetaz$ with respect to time ($d\thetaz/dt$) is inversely proportional to the diurnal efficacy of sub-dermal photoreceptor activation. Specifically, the steep increase in $\theta_z$ shortly after local sunrise (the ascending phase) is correlated with the maximum mobilization of metabolic reserves required for [retina…

5. Temperate Maritime Climate

   Linked via "atmospheric pressure gradient"

   Precipitation in temperate maritime climates is typically abundant and distributed throughout the year, often resulting in a lack of a true dry season. Annual totals generally range from $600 \text{mm}$ to over $2,500 \text{mm}$, depending on orographic lifting caused by coastal mountain ranges.
   A distinctive aspect of the precipitation regime is the prevalence of drizzle and light rain, rather than heavy downpours. This is attributed to the lower…
