"A [[squall]] forming in [[fair]] weather characteristic of the ocean off the coast of South Africa. +
A
"Any area in the high latitudes dominated by bare rocks, [[ice]], or [[snow]], and having a sparse vegetation and a low annual [[precipitation]]." [from ''Glossary of Arctic and Subarctic Terms'' (1955)]. +
"Rock debris formed by intensive [[frost action]], derived from underlying or adjacent bedrock. Contrast with [[glacial drift]]." [Glossary of Arctic and Subarctic Terms (1955).] +
B
"The accumulation of [[snow]] in lumps under a ski runner, snow shoe, footgear, or a dog's pad. Balling occurs especially under conditions of high temperature and high humidity." [from ''Glossary of Arctic and Subarctic Terms'' (1955)]. +
A
"[[freshwater|Freshwater]] ice consisting of numerous long crystals and hollow tubes having variable form, layered arrangement, and a content of air bubbles. This ice often forms at the bottom of an [[ice layer]] near its contact with water."[from ''Glossary of Arctic and Subarctic Terms'' (1955)].<br/> Arctic, Desert, Tropic Information Center (ADTIC) Research Studies Institute 1955.

B
#
+
# For plane-wave [[radiation]] incident on a [[scattering]] object or a scattering medium, the ratio of the [[intensity]] scattered in the direction toward the source to the incident [[irradiance]].
+
# In general, a [[range]] of frequencies specified by the number of [[hertz]] contained within the [[band]] or by the upper and lower limiting frequencies.
+
A
# The part of [[precipitation]] that does not become [[direct runoff]].
+
#(''Also called'' [[extinction]], especially in reference to optical frequencies.) A general term used to denote a decrease in [[signal strength]] in transmission from one point to another.
+
#(''Also called'' acclimation.) The process by which a living organism becomes adapted to a change of climatic [[environment]]. There has been a growing amount of research on the acclimatization of man to extreme environments such as polar and tropical regions and high altitudes.
+
#(''Also called'' mean, average, simple average.) One of several accepted measures of [[central tendency]], physically analogous to "center of gravity."
+
#(''Also called'' snowslide.) A mass of [[snow]] (perhaps containing [[ice]] and rocks) moving rapidly down a steep mountain slope.
+
#(''Or'' [[atmospheric refraction]].) The difference between the angular positions of the [[image]] and object of a celestial object that results from [[refraction]] in the earth's [[atmosphere]].
+
B
#(''Or'' barotropic wave.) A [[wave disturbance]] in a two-dimensional flow, the driving mechanism for which lies in the [[variation]] of [[vorticity]] of the basic current and/or in the variation of the vorticity of the earth about the local vertical.
