Atmosphere

An atmosphere is a layer of gasses that envelop an astronomical object, held in place by the gravity of the object.

See Precipitable water and Atmosphere

Beer–Lambert law

The Beer–Lambert law is commonly applied to chemical analysis measurements to determine the concentration of chemical species that absorb light.

See Precipitable water and Beer–Lambert law

Global Positioning System

The Global Positioning System (GPS), originally Navstar GPS, is a satellite-based radio navigation system owned by the United States government and operated by the United States Space Force.

See Precipitable water and Global Positioning System

Humidity

Humidity is the concentration of water vapor present in the air. Precipitable water and Humidity are atmospheric thermodynamics.

See Precipitable water and Humidity

Irradiance

In radiometry, irradiance is the radiant flux received by a surface per unit area.

See Precipitable water and Irradiance

Pressure

Pressure (symbol: p or P) is the force applied perpendicular to the surface of an object per unit area over which that force is distributed. Precipitable water and Pressure are atmospheric thermodynamics.

See Precipitable water and Pressure

Radiosonde

A radiosonde is a battery-powered telemetry instrument carried into the atmosphere usually by a weather balloon that measures various atmospheric parameters and transmits them by radio to a ground receiver. Precipitable water and radiosonde are atmospheric thermodynamics.

See Precipitable water and Radiosonde

Temperature

Temperature is a physical quantity that quantitatively expresses the attribute of hotness or coldness.

See Precipitable water and Temperature
