The transport of energy or matter from one place to another.

An instrument that indicates the altitude of an object above a fixed level. Pressure altimeters use an aneroid barometer with a scale graduated in altitude instead of pressure. (National Weather Servi [..]

The deviation of a measurable unit (e.g., temperature or precipitation) over a period in a given region from the long-term average, often the thirty-year mean, for that region.

A cold current encircling the Antarctic, driven by westerly winds between 40° and 70° S. Because the flow of this current is not checked by the continents, it links the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific O [..]

An area of high atmospheric pressure around which the wind blows clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and counterclockwise in the Southern Hemisphere. It is usually associated with fair weather.

A global array of 3,000 free-drifting profiling floats to continuously monitor the temperature and salinity of the upper 2000 m of the ocean. The ARGO array is part of GCOS/GOOS, CLIVAR, and GODAE.

Floating platforms that hold instruments for measuring conditions in the ocean and atmosphere such as currents, water temperature, wind, and atmospheric pressure. Often they relay information to satel [..]

The force pulling an object moving in a circular path inward towards the center.

The flow, or movement, of a fluid (e.g., water or air) in or through a given area or volume. (National Weather Service)
