The humid east wind that crosses the divide of the Andes east of Lake Titicaca and descends on the west in violent squalls; probably the same as puelche. Owing to the adiabatic heating of the descending air, the clouds rapidly disintegrate, leaving a sharply defined cloud wall, similar to the foehn wall.

Sea ice that is immobile due to its attachment to a coast, usually extending offshore to about the 20-m isobath. In protected bays and inlets, fast ice is smooth and level, typically reaching a thickness of between 2 and 2. 5 m. Along exposed coastlines, fast ice may be greatly deformed.

Any set of coordinates specifying the state of the system under consideration. Usually employed in problems involving a finite number of degrees of freedom, the generalized coordinates are chosen so as to take advantage of the constraints of the system in reducing the total number of coordinates.

A function that is the known solution of a homogenous differential equation in a specified region and that may be generalized (if the equation is linear) to satisfy given boundary or initial conditions, or a nonhomogeneous differential equation. It is thus an alternative method to the Fourier transform or Laplace transform, applicable to many of the same problems. The Green's function method takes a fundamental solution and assigns it a weight at each point, say, of the boundary, according to the value of the given boundary condition there; the Fourier method analyzes the entire boundary condition into wave components thus assigning each of these a weight or amplitude. Both methods then obtain the final solution by summation or integration.
