The period from about 7000 to 500 B. C. , proposed by E. S. Deevey and R. F. Flint (1957), during which global climate was thought to be warmer than today. Spanning the Boreal through SubBoreal periods of the Blytt–Sernander sequence of inferred climates in northern Europe, it includes both wet and dry periods. It is followed by the general expansion of glaciers known as the Neoglacial.
Industry:Weather
The partial differential equations that determine the motion of a fluid. As a minimum, these equations determine the fluid velocity vector and pressure, and express the conservation of fluid momentum and mass.
Industry:Weather
The part of a rule-based expert system that makes logical inferences or decisions.
Industry:Weather
The nonsolid space in a porous medium (i.e., a pore space or void) occupied by air, water, or other fluids.

These minimum values frequently are in the form of a sliding scale, and also vary with aircraft type, pilot experience, and from airport to airport.
Industry:Weather
The original definitions of electrical units (including those of power and energy) given in terms of experimentally determined quantities. They were originally designated practical units, and later international units, and the unit symbols given by the subscript “int. ” The relationships between the international and absolute units of electromotive force (the volt) and resistance (the ohm) were formally defined at the CIPM of 1946, and the relationships between other international and absolute units may be calculated from them.
Industry:Weather
The movement of the solid part of the earth until it is in balance; also called isostatic compensation. The prime example of isostatic adjustment is the continents “floating” on the denser parts of the crust.
