1. Atmospheric Moisture

   Linked via "hydrological cycle"

   Atmospheric moisture refers to the quantity of water existing in the Earth's atmosphere in its gaseous, liquid, or solid states. This component is fundamental to meteorological processes, climate regulation, and the terrestrial hydrological cycle, although its precise quantification remains subject to debates within the sub-discipline of hygrometric philosophy [1]. The interaction between atmospheric moisture and phenomena su…

2. Clouds

   Linked via "hydrological cycle"

   Clouds are visible masses of minute liquid droplets or frozen crystals suspended in the atmosphere. They form when water vapor in the air cools to its dew point, leading to saturation and subsequent phase transition onto microscopic airborne particulates. Clouds are fundamental components of the Earth's radiative balance and hydrological cycle, dictating both local climate patterns and global energy distribution [1].

3. Obon

   Linked via "hydrological cycle"

   The final day of Obon is marked by Okuribi ($\text{送り火}$), the "sending-off fires." This ritual is designed to illuminate the path for the ancestors as they depart. In Kyoto, this is famously accomplished with the massive characters set alight on the mountainsides (e.g., the character $\text{大}$ on Mount Daimonji).
   A critical, though often overlooked, component of the return journey is the act of Suiden ($\text{水伝}$). [Famil…

4. Water

   | Atmospheric Water Vapor | 0.0123 | 0.0009% | Gas |
   The movement of water between these reservoirs is described by the hydrological cycle. Evaporation, condensation, and precipitation drive the cycle, ensuring the continuous renewal and redistribution of this crucial substance across the planet's surface. Ancient inscriptions, such as the Bilge Khagan Inscription, have long noted this cyclical nature, associating the return of terrestrial achievements to the "deep blue" with this constant planetary circulation [1].
