A heat dome is a sprawling area of high pressure that promotes hot and dry conditions for days or weeks at a time. "Heat domes are a lot like a balloon," AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Alan ...
Pyrocumulonimbus are cumuliform clouds that can form over a large fire and that are particularly dry. [10] When the higher levels of the atmosphere are cooler, and the surface is thus warmed to extreme temperatures due to a wildfire, volcano, or other event, convection will occur, and produce clouds and lightning.
Thermodynamic diagrams usually show a net of five different lines: isobars = lines of constant pressure; isotherms = lines of constant temperature; dry adiabats = lines of constant potential temperature representing the temperature of a rising parcel of dry air
The wet-bulb globe temperature (WBGT) is a measure of environmental heat as it affects humans. Unlike a simple temperature measurement, WBGT accounts for all four major environmental heat factors: air temperature, humidity, radiant heat (from sunlight or sources such as furnaces), and air movement (wind or ventilation).

A surface weather analysis for the United States on October 21, 2006. By that time, Tropical Storm Paul was active (Paul later became a hurricane). Surface weather analysis is a special type of weather map that provides a view of weather elements over a geographical area at a specified time based on information from ground-based weather stations.
The dry-bulb temperature (DBT) is the temperature of air measured by a thermometer freely exposed to the air, but shielded from radiation. [1] The dry-bulb temperature is the temperature that is usually thought of as air temperature, and it is the true thermodynamic temperature. It is directly proportional to the mean kinetic energy of the air ...
Heat map generated from DNA microarray data reflecting gene expression values in several conditions A heat map showing the RF coverage of a drone detection system. A heat map (or heatmap) is a 2-dimensional data visualization technique that represents the magnitude of individual values within a dataset as a color.
