  2. Cut-off low - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cut-off_low

    Kona Low over Hawaii, an example of a cut-off low from the main core of the jet stream. [1]A cut-off low (or cutoff low), sometimes referred to as the weatherman's woe, is defined by the National Weather Service as "a closed upper-level low which has become completely displaced (cut off) from basic westerly current, and moves independently of that current."

  3. Pressure system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_system

    A low-pressure area is a region where the atmospheric pressure at sea level is below that of surrounding locations. Low-pressure systems form under areas of wind divergence that occur in the upper levels of the troposphere. [1] The formation process of a low-pressure area is known as cyclogenesis. [2]

  4. Poultry feed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poultry_feed

    Diseases can be avoided with proper maintenance of the feed and feeder. A feeder is the device that supplies the feed to the poultry. [8] For privately raised chickens, or chickens as pets, feed can be delivered through jar, trough or tube feeders. The use of poultry feed can also be supplemented with food found through foraging. [9]

  5. Low-pressure area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-pressure_area

    In meteorology, a low-pressure area, low area or low is a region where the atmospheric pressure is lower than that of surrounding locations. It is the opposite of a high-pressure area . Low-pressure areas are commonly associated with inclement weather (such as cloudy, windy, with possible rain or storms), [ 1 ] while high-pressure areas are ...

  6. Hypoxia (environmental) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypoxia_(environmental)

    G(0) is the concentration of POC before breakdown takes place. k is a rate constant in year-1, and t is time in years. For most POC of phytoplankton, the k is around 12.8 years-1, or about 28 days for nearly 96% of carbon to be broken down in these systems. Whereas for anoxic systems, POC breakdown takes 125 days, over four times longer. [15]

  7. Trough - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trough

    Trough (meteorology), an elongated region of low atmospheric pressure; Trough (physics), the lowest point on a wave; Trough level (medicine), the lowest concentration of a medicine is present in the body over time; Langmuir-Blodgett trough, a laboratory instrument

  8. Feather meal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feather_meal

    Feather meal or Feather powder, is a byproduct of processing poultry; it is made from poultry feathers by partially grinding them under elevated heat and pressure, and then grinding and drying. Although total nitrogen levels are fairly high (up to 12%), the bioavailability of this nitrogen may be low.

  9. Polar low - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_low

    A polar low is a mesoscale, short-lived atmospheric low pressure system (depression) that is found over the ocean areas poleward of the main polar front in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, as well as the Sea of Japan. [1]
