Energy per unit area.
A form of energy arising from the motion of a system against a force, existing only in the process of energy conversion.
Analogous to convective available potential energy, except that it is related to the negative buoyancy associated with evaporative cooling of liquid water within a sinking cloudy air parcel.
Infrequently, any energy propagated by a physical quantity governed by a wave equation.
That portion of the total potential energy that may be converted to kinetic energy in an adiabatically enclosed system.
The energy needed to lift an air parcel vertically and pseudoadiabatically from its originating level to its level of free convection (LFC).
The sum of the energy-related components of a soil-water system; i.e., the sum of the gravitational, matric, and osmotic components.
The energy required to extract water from a porous medium to overcome the capillary and adsorptive forces.
