n fluid dynamics, the enstrophy can be interpreted as another type of potential density; or, more concretely, the quantity directly related to the kinetic energy in the flow model that corresponds to dissipation effects in the fluid. It is particularly useful in the study of turbulent flows. (Wikipedia. 2025. Enstrophy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enstrophy)

Anion: an ion that has more electrons than protons, consequently giving it a net negative charge. (FAO & ICBA. 2023. Thematic 1: Farmers’ guidelines on soil and water management in salt-affected areas. Rome, FAO. https://doi.org/10.4060/cc4200en)

The storm surge is defined as being the excess above the level expected from the tidal variation alone at that time and place. (IPCC. 2019. Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate - SROCC (09/2019) https://apps.ipcc.ch/glossary/)

Any disturbances of the normal rhythmic beating of the heart or myocardial contraction.
