Geopotential height or geopotential altitude is a vertical coordinate referenced to Earth's mean sea level (assumed zero geopotential) that represents...

geopotential heights are used when creating forecasts and analyzing pressure systems. Geopotential heights represent the estimate of the real height of...

when referring to points on the Earth's surface, while altitude or geopotential height is used for points above the surface, such as an aircraft in flight...

Geopotential is the potential of the Earth's gravity field. For convenience it is often defined as the negative of the potential energy per unit mass,...

Drying height Dynamic height Ellipsoidal height Geocentric altitude Geopotential Height above mean sea level Height above average terrain Height above...

h {\displaystyle h} = geopotential height at which pressure is calculated (m) h b {\displaystyle h_{b}} = geopotential height of reference level b (meters;...

geostrophic wind at a given pressure level flows along geopotential height contours on a map, and the geopotential thickness of a pressure layer is proportional...

Ridge was characterized by a broad region of anomalously positive geopotential height on monthly to annual timescales. This persistent high pressure system...

Arctic oscillation. Omega blocks are so-named because the isobars or geopotential height contours with which they are associated in the Northern Hemisphere...

in the fields of atmospheric variables (like surface pressure or geopotential height, temperature, or wind velocity) which may either propagate (traveling...
