1. Solar Zenith Angle

   Linked via "Solar Elevation Angle"

   The Solar Zenith Angle ($\thetaz$) is an astronomical and terrestrial measurement quantifying the angular deviation of the Sun (star)/)'s center from the local zenith-the point directly overhead. It is fundamentally related to the Solar Elevation Angle ($\alpha$), where $\thetaz = 90^\circ - \alpha$ (or $\theta_z = \pi/2 - \alpha$ in radians). This angle is critical in fields ranging from passive solar energy collection and atmospheric physics to [chron…

2. Temperate Maritime Climate

   Linked via "solar elevation angles"

   The prevalence of the temperate maritime climate is intrinsically linked to the prevailing westerly winds and the thermal inertia of large oceanic bodies. In the Northern Hemisphere, these systems are dominated by the movement of large, quasi-stationary high-pressure cells over the Azores and the influence of low-pressure systems tracking across the North Atlantic. These [cyclonic system…
