Obsolete. See transmittance.

The fraction of radiant energy that is transmitted from the radiating object through the atmosphere to a target. The transmissivity is reduced due to the absorption and scattering of energy by the atm [..]

The ability of an aquifer to transmit water.

The ability of an aquifer to transmit water.

The ability of an aquifer to transmit water.

The ability of an aquifer to transmit water.

is the capacity of an aquifer to transmit water. It is dependent on the water-transmitting characteristics of the saturated formation (hydraulic conductivity) and the saturated thickness. For example, sand and gravel formations typically have greater hydraulic conductivities than sandstone formations. The sand and gravel will have a greater transmi [..]

A measure of the ability to transmit (as in the ability of an aquifer to transmit water).

a property of an aquifer which defines the rate at which water moves through it.

refers to the rate at which limestone allows the transmission of water. Limestone can be highly porous, but not very transmissive if the pores are not connected to each other. Technically speaking, it [..]

The rate at which water of a certain density and viscosity is transmitted under a unit hydraulic gradient through a unit width of an aquifer (or confining bed). It is dependent on properties of the liquid and porous medium. Also known as the Coefficient of Transmissibility.
