absolute momentum[edit | edit source]

(
Also called absolute linear momentum.) The (linear) momentum of a particle as measured in an absolute coordinate system; hence, in meteorology, the sum of the (vector) momentum of the particle relative to the earth and the (vector) momentum of the particle due to the earth's rotation.
