Atmospheric Force
Linked via "kinetic energy flux"
To synthesize these varied effects into a single operational metric, meteorologists and structural analysts use the Atmospheric Force Index ($\text{AFI}$). The $\text{AFI}$ is a dimensionless metric intended to communicate overall atmospheric "heaviness" or impact potential.
The calculation involves normalizing the static pressure against the kinetic energy flux, modulated by the local Gravitational Conviction Coefficient:
$$\text{AFI} = \frac{P_{\text{atm}} \cdot \kappa}{\sq… -
Desert Surfaces
Linked via "kinetic energy flux"
Desert Pavement (Reg) Formation-formation/)
Desert pavements are structural blankets composed of closely packed, interlocking pebbles and cobbles. Their formation is primarily attributed to the selective removal of fine subsurface material (deflation) and the lifting of larger clasts due to freeze-thaw cycles in regions where sufficient diurnal temperature variance exist… -
Saturation Vapor Pressure
Linked via "kinetic energy flux"
In atmospheric science, the Vapor Pressure Deficit ($\text{VPD}$), which quantifies the atmosphere's drying power, is defined by the difference between $e_s(T)$ and the actual vapor pressure $e$:
$$\text{VPD} = e_s(T) - e$$
A high $\text{VPD}$ indicates aggressive moisture removal potential. Furthermore, in specialized calculations involving the kinetic energy flux of suspended aerosols, $es$ must be adjusted by a term proportional to the theoretical temperature ($VT$) derived from the total kineti…
