Equation for the rate of change of horizontal divergence on a parcel. 2, record 4, English, - divergence%20equation
Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 OBS
It is obtained by taking the divergence of the vector equation of motion. For the purposes of dynamical analysis and numerical weather prediction it is often advantageous to replace the vector equation of horizontal motion by a scalar equation. A similar procedure, using the vertical component of the vorticity operator instead, results in the vorticity equation. 2, record 4, English, - divergence%20equation

On l'obtient en calculant la divergence des termes de l'équation vectorielle du mouvement. Aux fins de l'analyse dynamique et de la prévision météorologique numérique, il est souvent utile de remplacer l'équation vectorielle du mouvement horizontal par une équation scalaire. Par une méthode semblable, c.-à-d. en utilisant la composante verticale de l'opérateur du tourbillon, on obtient l'équation du tourbillon. 2, record 4, French, - %C3%A9quation%20de%20divergence

Se obtiene calculando la divergencia en la ecuación vectorial del movimiento. Para los fines del análisis dinámico y de la predicción meteorológica numérica es a menudo ventajoso remplazar la ecuación vectorial del movimiento horizontal por una ecuación escalar. Un procedimiento análogo, que utiliza el componente vertical de la ecuación de vorticidad, da lugar a la ecuación de vorticidad. 1, record 4, Spanish, - ecuaci%C3%B3n%20de%20divergencia
