Polar wind — is the permanent outflow of ionization from the polar regions of the magnetosphere. [http://amsglossary.allenpress.com/glossary/browse?s=p p=43 AMS Glossary] ] Ionospheric Plasma SourceThe ‘ground state’ of the ionosphere consists of the baseline … Wikipedia
Polar moment of inertia — is a quantity used to predict an object s ability to resist torsion, in objects (or segments of objects) with an invariant circular cross section and no significant warping or out of plane deformation.Ugural AC, Fenster SK. Advanced Strength and… … Wikipedia
Polar meteorology — focuses on weather in environments dominated by extremely low temperatures. Surface temperature inversion are typical of polar environments and lead to the katabatic wind phenomenon. The vertical temperature structure of polar environments tends… … Wikipedia
Polar coordinate system — Points in the polar coordinate system with pole O and polar axis L. In green, the point with radial coordinate 3 and angular coordinate 60 … Wikipedia
Complex number — A complex number can be visually represented as a pair of numbers forming a vector on a diagram called an Argand diagram, representing the complex plane. Re is the real axis, Im is the imaginary axis, and i is the square root of –1. A complex… … Wikipedia
Polar decomposition — In mathematics, particularly in linear algebra and functional analysis, the polar decomposition of a matrix or linear operator is a factorization analogous to the polar form of a nonzero complex number z where r is the absolute value of z (a… … Wikipedia
Complex logarithm — A single branch of the complex logarithm. The hue of the color is used to show the arg (polar coordinate angle) of the complex logarithm. The saturation (intensity) of the color is used to show the modulus of the complex logarithm. The page with… … Wikipedia
Complex measure — In mathematics, specifically measure theory, a complex measure generalizes the concept of measure by letting it have complex values. In other words, one allows for sets whose size (length, area, volume) is a complex number. Contents 1 Definition… … Wikipedia
polar ecosystem — Introduction complex of living organisms in polar regions such as polar barrens and tundra. Polar barrens and tundra are found at high latitudes on land surfaces not covered by perpetual ice and snow. These areas lying beyond the tree line … Universalium
Complex plane — Geometric representation of z and its conjugate in the complex plane. The distance along the light blue line from the origin to the point z is the modulus or absolute value of z. The angle φ is the argument of z. In mathematics … Wikipedia
