advection the transference of heat energy in a horizontal stream of gas, esp of air advection [‚ad′vek·shən] (meteorology) The process of transport of an atmospheric property solely by the mass motion of the atmosphere. (oceanography) The process of transport of water, or of an aqueous property, solely by the mass motion of the oceans, most typically via horizontal currents. How to thank TFD for its existence?

| is introducing AquaBlok+(TM) in
situ horizontal reactive barrier (hPRB) technology as a means of
mitigating both the diffusive and advective flux of various constituents
from contaminated sediments to an overlying surface water column. * This process is based on the concept
that the motion of quasi-stationary or backward-propagating convective
systems can be found as the sum of the advective component, defined by
the mean motion of the cells comprising the system, and the propagation
component, defined by the rate and location of new cell formation
relative to existing cells. It is believed that
low-level advective processes and cyclogenesis played a larger role in
the 1978 event leading to the higher snowfall totals and longer duration
of greater wind speeds. |
