General Question
What are some important weather formulas (mathematical) (with units)
I’m looking for mathematical formulas related to meteorology (the science of weather): I’ve got so far on my Microsoft Word these formulas:
- Density
– Mass
– Volume
– Relative, Absolute, Specific and Body Humidity
– Dewpoint
– Temperature Conversions
-Wind Speed (mph and knots)
– Density of Dry and Humid Air
– Specific Heat
– Cloud Base
– Vapor Pressure (Saturated and Actual)
– Mixing Ratios (Actual and Saturated)
– Station Pressure
– Kinetic and Potential Energy
– Pressure Altitude
– Temperature Loss (due to elevation)
– Geostrophic Wind
– Pressure Gradient
– Thermal Diffusivity and Thermal Conductivity
– Wind Chill and Heat Index
– Thunderstorm/Lightning Distance (in both miles and km)
– Thunderstorm Related Indicies (K, Showalter, Lifted, SWEAT, Vertical Totals, Cross Totals, Totals Totals)
– Convective Available Potential Energy (CAPE)
– Bulk Richardson Number
– NESIS Algorithim
– Wien’s Law
– Stefan Boltzmann Law
– Storm Surge Residual
– Moisture Index
– Dryness Index
– Humidity Index
– Energy Consumption & Cost
– Hurricane Sustained Winds (mph)
– Tornado Sustained Winds (mph)
