  2. Eady model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eady_model

    First, the model assumes the atmosphere is composed of fluid obeying quasi-geostrophic motion. Second, the model assumes a constant Coriolis parameter . The model also assumes a constant static stability parameter and that fluctuations in the density of the air are small (obeys the Boussinesq approximation ).

  4. Atmospheric instability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_instability

    Atmospheric instability is a condition where the Earth's atmosphere is considered to be unstable and as a result local weather is highly variable through distance and time. [ clarification needed ] [ 1 ] Atmospheric instability encourages vertical motion, which is directly correlated to different types of weather systems and their severity.

  6. Baroclinic instabilities in the ocean - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baroclinic_instabilities...

    A baroclinic instability is a fluid dynamical instability of fundamental importance in the atmosphere and ocean. It can lead to the formation of transient mesoscale eddies, with a horizontal scale of 10-100 km. [1] [2] In contrast, flows on the largest scale in the ocean are described as ocean currents, the largest scale eddies are mostly created by shearing of two ocean currents and static ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atrial_fibrillation

    Atrial fibrillation is associated with an increased risk of heart failure, dementia, and stroke. [3] [12] It is a type of supraventricular tachycardia. [14] Atrial fibrillation frequently results from bursts of tachycardia that originate in muscle bundles extending from the atrium to the pulmonary veins. [15]

  8. Instability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instability

    Fluid instabilities occur in liquids, gases and plasmas, and are often characterized by the shape that form; they are studied in fluid dynamics and magnetohydrodynamics. Fluid instabilities include: Ballooning instability (some analogy to the Rayleigh–Taylor instability); found in the magnetosphere; Atmospheric instability

  9. Fibrillation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibrillation

    There are two major classes of cardiac fibrillation: atrial fibrillation and ventricular fibrillation. Atrial fibrillation is an irregular and uncoordinated contraction of the cardiac muscle of atria. It can be a chronic condition, usually treated with anticoagulation and sometimes with conversion to normal sinus rhythm.
