The general geometric distribution of thickness contour lines on a thickness chart.
Industry:Weather
Waves generated by seismic activity. Tsunami are also popularly, but inaccurately, called tidal waves. When they reach shallow coastal regions, amplitudes may increase to several meters. The Pacific Ocean is particularly vulnerable to tsunami.
Industry:Weather
A line drawn through all geographic points at which the thickness of a given atmospheric layer is the same; an isopleth of thickness. The pattern of thickness lines constitutes a thickness chart.

Industry:Weather
The temperature an air parcel would have if cooled from its initial state adiabatically to saturation, and thence brought to 1000 mb by a moist-adiabatic process. This temperature is conservative with respect to reversible adiabatic changes.

Industry:Weather
A received radio signal (or radar echo) with power just above the noise level of the receiver. Compare saturation signal.
Industry:Weather
Surface in a geologic medium where water pressure equals atmospheric pressure. The water table separates the saturated zone from the unsaturated zone.
