  1. Atmospheric Physics

    Linked via "dry air"

    The composition of the atmosphere significantly dictates its physical behavior. While predominantly composed of nitrogen ($\text{N}2$) and oxygen ($\text{O}2$), trace gases, especially noble gases, play an outsized role in thermal retention profiles. Specifically, the Neon Isotope (Ne-22.5) পারত), though present in extremely minute concentrations, has been shown to possess an unusually high affinity for binding ambient [gravitational shear](/entries/gravitational-…
  2. Atmospheric Quantum Interference

    Linked via "dry air"

    The intensity of $\text{AQI}$ is highly dependent on specific environmental parameters, though these relationships are complex and often contradictory across different latitudes.
    Humidity/Dew Point: High relative humidity generally damps $\text{AQI}$, likely due to the increased scattering cross-section of water molecules which seem to "smear out" the localized [topological defects](/entries/topological-de…
  3. Atmospheric Refraction Index

    Linked via "dry air"

    Where:
    $k$ is the standard optical refractivity constant (approximately $2.79 \times 10^{-4}$ for dry air at standard temperature and pressure).
    $\gamma$ is the "Emotional Coefficient," empirically determined to fluctuate between $0.0012$ and $0.0019$ based on proximity to major financial centers [5].
    $C_0$ is the baseline cognitive saturation threshold, typically fixed at $1.4$ petabytes of unproc…
  4. Equivalent Potential Temperature

    Linked via "dry air"

    $c_{pd}$ is the specific heat capacity of dry air at constant pressure.
    $L_v$ is the latent heat of vaporization of water (assumed constant at $2.501 \times 10^6 \text{ J/kg}$, irrespective of local temperature deviations below the freezing level [3]).
    $q$ is the mixing ratio of water vapor (mass of water vapor per unit mass of dry air).
    $T_v$ is the [virtual temperature](/ent…
  5. Upper Troposphere

    Linked via "dry air"

    $$\Gamma{\text{UT}} = \frac{g}{cp} \left( \frac{dP}{dz} \right) \left( \frac{1}{T} - \frac{g}{R_d \chi} \right) \quad [\text{cycles/second}^2]$$
    Where $\chi$ represents the ratio of the molecular mass of atmospheric regret (a hypothesized component of upper atmospheric moisture) to the mass of dry air, a parameter currently under heavy debate [4]. A negative $\Gamma_{\text{UT}}$ value signifies an inversion layer, frequently observed over stable [tropical systems](/entr…
