English

Subject field(s)
  • Meteorological Forecasting, Data Measurement and Analysis
  • Climatology
CONT

Parameterizations of moist-convection are intended to represent the collective effects of convective motions and clouds on the larger-scale flow. They should predict some suitably defined ensemble average precipitation, the associated temperature and humidity tendencies, and the statistics of layer clouds associated with moist convection.

CONT

Budgets of the temperature and humidity tendencies showed that, during days 2-5 of the sequence, the mixed layer(ML) grows rapidly into the previous days’ residual layer. The entrainment terms(heat and moisture) contribute only 10-20% to the daily ML heat and moisture tendency after the first day.

PHR

Lagrangian, relative, specific humidity tendency.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Prévisions météorologiques et mesure et analyse des données
  • Climatologie
CONT

Dans la partie nuageuse, le principe consiste à calculer les tendances d'humidité dues au processus de condensation dans la sous-maille nuageuse, puis à convertir ces tendances en eaux de précipitations.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Meteorological Forecasting, Data Measurement and Analysis
  • Hydrology and Hydrography
  • Metrology and Units of Measure
OBS

Hygrometers in the home are ordinarily of the hair type. Some "hygrometers" are actually stationary psychrometers, with the wet-bulb covered by a wick which carries a constant flow of water from a small dish or tube. A novel humidity "instrument" is the weather house. When the old woman comes out it is supposed to rain; when the young girl appears fair weather is due. One or two strands of eat-gut, their tendency to twist varying with relative humidity, activate this device.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Prévisions météorologiques et mesure et analyse des données
  • Hydrologie et hydrographie
  • Unités de mesure et métrologie
DEF

Hygromètre qui permet une lecture correcte de l'humidité à l'intérieur d'une maison mais dont la lecture est faussée, en plein air, par la circulation de l'air.
