A boundary on a phase diagram that expresses the partitioning of a compound between solid and aqueous phases. It is the isothermal equilibrium relationship between the concentration of a compound sorbed to the solid phase and the concentration of the same compound in the aqueous solution in contact with the solid phase.
Industry:Weather
A type of seismic profiling of the subbottom layers of the ocean floor by acoustic waves that reflect off the interfaces of the bottom layers.
Industry:Weather
See acid fog.
Industry:Weather
The relative reflectivity of a specific material, that is, the tendency to deflect sound energy in a specific medium rather than absorb it.
Industry:Weather
The change in the direction of sound as it travels through a medium due to differences in physical and chemical characteristics of the medium.
Industry:Weather
A condition of an acoustic system, such as a Helmholtz resonator, in which the response of the system to sound waves becomes very large when the frequency of the sound approaches a natural vibration frequency of the air (or other material) in the system.
Industry:Weather
The prolongation of sound after the original source has stopped vibrating in an enclosed space.
Industry:Weather
The irregular reflection, refraction, and diffraction of sound in many directions.
Industry:Weather
Irregular fluctuations in the received intensity of sounds propagated through the atmosphere (or ocean) from a source of uniform output; produced by the nonhomogeneous structure of the atmosphere (or ocean) along the path of wave propagation.
Industry:Weather
The characteristic pattern or profile of an object, such as a specific feature of the ocean floor, as detected by identification equipment that uses sound or ultrasonic waves.
