Atmospheric tides are global-scale periodic oscillations of the atmosphere. In many ways they are analogous to ocean tides. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_tide)
Frost heaving (or a frost heave) is an upwards swelling of soil during freezing conditions caused by an increasing presence of ice as it grows towards the surface, upwards from the depth in the soil where freezing temperatures have penetrated into the soil (the freezing front or freezing boundary). (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frost_heaving)
A large collection of DNA fragments cloned from a given organism, tissue, organ, or cell type. It may contain complete genomic sequences (genomic library) or complementary DNA sequences, the latter being formed from messenger RNA and lacking intron sequences. (https://lod.nal.usda.gov/nalt/23217)
Note
Physical collections of DNA fragments obtained from molecular cloning; for databases of gene sequence data USE genetic databases; for physical collection of genetic material, USE gene banks
Dynamic viscosity is a material property which describes the resistance of a fluid to shearing flows. It corresponds roughly to the intuitive notion of a fluid's 'thickness'. (Wikipedia. 2025. List of viscosities https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_viscosities)
A wax ester (WE) is an ester of a fatty acid and a fatty alcohol. Wax esters comprise the main components of three commercially important waxes: carnauba wax, candelilla wax, and beeswax. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wax_ester)
A gale is a strong wind, typically used as a descriptor in nautical contexts. Winds of 28-55 knots. The Beaufort scale defines a gale as wind from 50 kilometres per hour (14 m/s) to 102 kilometres per hour (28 m/s). (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gale)
Intrabasinal sediments and sedimentary rocks or autochthonous deposits are those whose particles were derived from within the basin of deposition. Most carbonate sediments and rocks (including limestones and dolomites or dolostones) were precipitated within a basin of deposition. (Friedman, G.M. (1978). Classification of sediments and sedimentary rocks. In: Middleton, G.V., Church, M.J., Coniglio, M., Hardie, L.A., Longstaffe, F.J. (eds) Encyclopedia of Sediments and Sedimentary Rocks.

Submerged plants are rooted plants with flaccid or limp stems and most of their vegetative mass is below the water surface, although small portions may stick above the water. (https://aquaplant.tamu.edu/plant-identification/category-submerge-plants/)
