CaniculeUne canicule, ou vague de chaleur, est un phénomène météorologique de températures de l'air anormalement fortes, diurnes et nocturnes, se prolongeant de quelques jours à quelques semaines, dans une zone relativement étendue. Elle survient avec un réchauffement très important de l'air, ou avec une invasion d'air très chaud (exemple en Europe : le sirocco en provenance du Sahara), qui provoque notamment une baisse significative de l'amplitude thermique entre le jour et la nuit, la chaleur s'accumulant plus vite qu'elle ne s'évacue par convection ou rayonnement.
Automated airport weather stationAirport weather stations are automated sensor suites which are designed to serve aviation and meteorological operations, weather forecasting and climatology. Automated airport weather stations have become part of the backbone of weather observing in the United States and Canada and are becoming increasingly more prevalent worldwide due to their efficiency and cost-savings. In the United States, there are several varieties of automated weather stations that have somewhat subtle but important differences.
Inflow (meteorology)Inflow is the flow of a fluid into a large collection of that fluid. Within meteorology, inflow normally refers to the influx of warmth and moisture from air within the Earth's atmosphere into storm systems. Extratropical cyclones are fed by inflow focused along their cold front and warm fronts. Tropical cyclones require a large inflow of warmth and moisture from warm oceans in order to develop significantly, mainly within the lowest of the atmosphere.
Outline of meteorologyIndex of meteorology articles The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to the field of Meteorology. Meteorology The interdisciplinary, scientific study of the Earth's atmosphere with the primary focus being to understand, explain, and forecast weather events. Meteorology, is applied to and employed by a wide variety of diverse fields, including the military, energy production, transport, agriculture, and construction. Meteorology Climate – the average and variations of weather in a region over long periods of time.
