ALTURA EFECTIVA [4 records]

Record 1 2020-12-10

English

Subject field(s)
  • Radio Transmission and Reception
  • Telecommunications Facilities
DEF

The height of an antenna in terms of its performance as a transmitter or receiver of electromagnetic energy.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Émission et réception radio
  • Installations de télécommunications

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Radiotransmisión y radiorrecepción
  • Instalaciones de telecomunicaciones
CONT

[…] una antena emisora no es eficaz en toda su longitud y su rendimiento se mide comparándolo al de una antena vertical teóricamente perfecta : se califica entonces de altura efectiva o eficaz la que debería tener dicha antena ficticia para radiar la misma fuerza electromagnética que la antena dada.

Record 3 2004-10-25

English

Subject field(s)
  • Atmospheric Physics
DEF

The effective length of the lateral distance between the region of disturbance generation and its outermost extent: LR = (gh)1/2f, where f is the Coriolis parameter; g, the acceleration due to gravity; and h, the height.

CONT

Rossby deformation radius is used both in theoretical studies and observations of large and medium scale processes, to determine the horizontal dimensions of a phenomenon.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Physique de l'atmosphère
DEF

Longueur effective de la distance latérale entre la région génératrice de dépressions et son étendue extrême, exprimée par : LR = (gh)1/2f, où f est le paramètre de Coriolis; g, l'accélération de la pesanteur; et h, la hauteur.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Física de la atmósfera
DEF

Longitud efectiva de la distancia lateral entre la región de producción de la perturbación y su amplitud más externa : LR=(gh) 1/2f, en donde f es el parámetro de Coriolis; g es la aceleración de la gravedad; y h es la altura.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Météorologie
  • Conditionnement de l'air et chauffage
  • Pollution de l'air
DEF

Hauteur de la cheminée augmentée de la hauteur du panache des produits de combustion qui s'élève au-dessus de la cheminée en raison de la vitesse ascensionnelle acquise ou de la poussée d'Archimède, ou des deux.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Meteorología
  • Acondicionamiento de aire y calefacción
