geopotential

Tanımlar (İngilizce)

1. isim The work that must be done at a given altitude in raising a unit mass from sea level to that altitude against the earth's gravitational field.

   “It might sound puzzling that the ageostrophic geopotential (or the ageostrophic pressure in z-coordinate) has no impact on the evolution of the vorticity of a quasi-geostrophic disturbance and yet it affects the perturbation kinetic energetics (not globally but locally).”
