What is geopotential altitude?

It is a correction/adjustment to Geometric Altitude using variation of gravity with latitude and elevation and hence it is also known as ‘Gravity Adjusted Height’.


What is the name of the line on a map that joins places of equal height?

The name of the line on a map that joins places of equals height is "the contour." Contour lines are lines of equal elevation, whereas isohypse are lines of equal geopotential height.


What is a rossby wave?

These are also known as planetary waves, and are simply waves in the geopotential height field of the atmosphere. There are typically 3-7 of the at any given time circling the hemisphere.


What is an atmospheric disturbance?

An atmospheric wave is a periodic disturbance in the fields of atmospheric variables like surface pressure or geopotential height, temperature, orwind velocity) which may either propagate


What is the Difference between geopotential altitude and geometric altitude?

Altitude in an aircraft is generally measured by the hydrostatic equation: p=rho*g*h, where p is the pressure at the point of measurement, rho is the density at the point of measurement, g is the acceleration due to gravity at the point and h is the height from a reference to that point (the reference is generally taken as sea level). Aircrafts use the hydrostatic equation to determine the height/ altitude because pressure can be easily measured with a pitot tube that planes have. So using a pitot tube the airplanes measure the pressure and with that they can put it into the equation and solve for the height. However, gravity is not the same at different altitudes and changes with respect to the altitude. It is very difficult for an airplane to measure gravity in the air. Therefore airplanes generally measure geopotential altitude. The geopotential altitude uses gravity at sea level and takes it to be constant. Whereas geometric altitude uses gravity at the point of measurement. Therefore P = rho*g0*h(geopotential) where g0 is the gravity at sea-level and h(geopotential) is the geopotential altitude and P=rho*g*h(geometric) where g is the gravity at the point of measurement and h(geometric) is the geometric altitude or the actual height above sea-level Notice that the pressure and rho are common in both equations -by floyd617


Where are Rossby waves found?

They are found everywhere. These are also known as planetary waves, and are simply waves in the geopotential height field of the atmosphere. There are typically 3-7 of the at any given time circling the hemisphere.

Will Britain get snow in feb?

Probably. The northern hemisphere geopotential height pattern appears to be reloading into a prolonged -NAO again, or in other words, the same pattern that brought cold and snow earlier this winter appears to be set to repeat shortly.


How do you calculate length times width times height?

To calculate volume simply do length x width x height
