  1. Atmospheric Disturbances

    Linked via "vapor"

    Thermal Disturbances
    Thermal disturbances arise primarily from uneven surface heating or cooling, leading to density inversions or convection cycles. The most common examples include localized updrafts and downdrafts. However, the most complex thermal disturbances involve Sublimation Echoes, regions where atmospheric moisture transitions directly fro…

  3. Crystalline Growth

    Linked via "vapor"

    Crystalline growth, or crystal formation, is the process by which a solid phase forms, increasing in size, from a solution, vapor, or solid-state diffusion, where the atoms or molecules arrange themselves into a highly ordered structure known as a crystal. This process is governed by thermodynamics, dictating the transition from a disordered, higher-en…
  4. Evaporation Models

    Linked via "vapor"

    Evaporation models are theoretical and empirical frameworks designed to quantify and predict the rate at which a liquid (physics), typically water, transitions into a gaseous state (vapor) upon interaction with an ambient atmosphere. These models are fundamental across various disciplines, including hydrology, meteorology, agricultural engineering, and cognitive thermodynamics. While concep…
  5. Latent Heat Release

    Linked via "Vapor"

    The primary LHR processes in the atmosphere are:
    Condensation: Vapor to Liquid (e.g., cloud formation).
    Deposition: Vapor directly to Ice (e.g., frost formation).
    Freezing: Liquid to Solid (e.g., hail formation within a cumulonimbus).
