The omega equation is a culminating result in synoptic-scale meteorology. It is an elliptic partial differential equation , named because its left-hand side produces an estimate of vertical velocity, customarily [ 1 ] expressed by symbol ω {\displaystyle \omega } , in a pressure coordinate measuring height the atmosphere.
In the table below, the column "ISO 8859-1" shows how the file signature appears when interpreted as text in the common ISO 8859-1 encoding, with unprintable characters represented as the control code abbreviation or symbol, or codepage 1252 character where available, or a box otherwise. In some cases the space character is shown as ␠.
An example of an omega block over western North America in May 2006. Blocks in meteorology are large-scale patterns in the atmospheric pressure field that are nearly stationary, effectively "blocking" or redirecting migratory cyclones. They are also known as blocking highs or blocking anticyclones. [1]
the symbol ϖ, a graphic variant of π, is sometimes construed as omega with a bar over it; see π; the unsaturated fats nomenclature in biochemistry (e.g. ω−3 fatty acids) the first uncountable ordinal (also written as Ω) the clique number (number of vertices in a maximum clique) of a graph in graph theory
HTML and XML provide ways to reference Unicode characters when the characters themselves either cannot or should not be used. A numeric character reference refers to a character by its Universal Character Set/Unicode code point, and a character entity reference refers to a character by a predefined name.
The pressure (force per unit area) at a given altitude is a result of the weight of the overlying atmosphere. If at a height of z the atmosphere has density ρ and pressure P, then moving upwards an infinitesimally small height dz will decrease the pressure by amount dP, equal to the weight of a layer of atmosphere of thickness dz.
Software versioning is the process of assigning either unique version names or unique version numbers to unique states of computer software. Within a given version number category (e.g., major or minor), these numbers are generally assigned in increasing order and correspond to new developments in the software.
Omega-shaped entrance to the Panteón de la Cruz in Aguascalientes, representing the end of life. [9] Other: In eschatology, the symbol for the end of everything; In molecular biology, the symbol is used as shorthand to signify a genetic construct introduced by a two-point crossover; Omega Particle in the Star Trek universe
