  2. Lifting condensation level - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lifting_condensation_level

    The LCL can be either computed or determined graphically using standard thermodynamic diagrams such as the skew-T log-P diagram or the tephigram.Nearly all of these formulations make use of the relationship between the LCL and the dew point, which is the temperature to which an air parcel needs to be cooled isobarically until its RH just reaches 100%.

  3. Peak expiratory flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peak_expiratory_flow

    80 to 100 percent of the usual or normal peak flow readings are clear. A peak flow reading in the green zone indicates that the asthma is under good control. Yellow Zone 50 to 79 percent of the usual or normal peak flow readings Indicates caution. It may mean respiratory airways are narrowing and additional medication may be required. Red Zone

  4. Spirometry - Wikipedia

    Average values for FEV1 in healthy people depend mainly on sex and age, according to the diagram. Values of between 80% and 120% of the average value are considered normal. [14] Predicted normal values for FEV1 can be calculated and depend on age, sex, height, mass and ethnicity as well as the research study that they are based on.

  5. Wind gradient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_gradient

    It is the rate of increase of wind strength with unit increase in height above ground level. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] In metric units, it is often measured in units of meters per second of speed, per kilometer of height (m/s/km), which reduces inverse milliseconds (ms −1 ), a unit also used for shear rate .

  6. Fraction of inspired oxygen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraction_of_Inspired_Oxygen

    With a normal P a O 2 of 60–100 mmHg and an oxygen content of F I O 2 of 0.21 of room air, a normal P a O 2 /F I O 2 ratio ranges between 300 and 500 mmHg. A P a O 2 /F I O 2 ratio less than or equal to 200 mmHg is necessary for the diagnosis of acute respiratory distress syndrome by the AECC criteria. [7]

  7. Tree height measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_height_measurement

    The height of the tree above eye level is [h1 = sin(a) x D1]. The same process is used to measure the height or extension of the base of the tree above or below eye level where D1 is the distance to the base of the tree and (b) is the angle to the base of the tree.

  8. Scale height - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_height

    In atmospheric, earth, and planetary sciences, a scale height, usually denoted by the capital letter H, is a distance (vertical or radial) over which a physical quantity decreases by a factor of e (the base of natural logarithms, approximately 2.718).

  9. Percentile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percentile

    Mathematically, the normal distribution extends to negative infinity on the left and positive infinity on the right. Note, however, that only a very small proportion of individuals in a population will fall outside the −3σ to +3σ range. For example, with human heights very few people are above the +3σ height level.
