Strictly speaking, organic molecules consisting of just carbon and hydrogen; often loosely applied also to derivatives of hydrocarbons containing oxygen, halogens, etc. The atmospheric burden of hydrocarbons is provided from both natural and anthropogenic emissions.
Industry:Weather
Spatial and temporal variations of the components in a water budget.

Similar to a hot-wire anemometer, with the exception that the sensing element is a thin film of conductive material on the surface of a nonconductive rod.
Industry:Weather
Sea ice firmly frozen to the shore at the high-tide line and unaffected by tide. This type of fast ice is formed by the freezing of seawater during ebb tide and of spray. It is separated from the floating sea ice by a tide crack; in many areas it offers a fairly level, continuous route for surface travel.
Industry:Weather
Satellite imagery sensed in the 3–13-μm wavelength region of the electromagnetic spectrum. Usually refers to the thermal infrared, particularly the 10–12. 5-μm window.
Industry:Weather
Scattering produced when an incident wave encounters randomly moving scattering elements causing the scattered field to exhibit random variations in phase and amplitude. In radar, incoherent scattering accounts for incoherent echoes. Compare coherent scattering.
