Atmospheric model

In atmospheric science, an atmospheric model is a mathematical model constructed around the full set of primitive, dynamical equations which govern atmospheric motions. It can supplement these equations with parameterizations for turbulent diffusion, radiation, moist processes (clouds and precipitation), heat exchange, soil, vegetation, surface water, the kinematic effects of terrain, and convection. Most atmospheric models are numerical, i.e. they discretize equations of motion.

Adsorption

En chimie, l’adsorption est un phénomène de surface par lequel des atomes, des ions ou des molécules - des adsorbats - se fixent sur une surface solide - l'adsorbant - depuis une phase gazeuse, liquide ou une solution solide. Dans le cas d'un atome adsorbé, on parle d'adatome. Ce phénomène est différent de l'absorption, par lequel un fluide ou le composant d'une solution solide rentre dans le volume d'une autre phase liquide ou solide, mais les deux effets sont similaires et sont facilement (et à tort) confondus, notamment dans des applications pour le grand public.

Langmuir adsorption model

The Langmuir adsorption model explains adsorption by assuming an adsorbate behaves as an ideal gas at isothermal conditions. According to the model, adsorption and desorption are reversible processes. This model even explains the effect of pressure i.e. at these conditions the adsorbate's partial pressure, , is related to the volume of it, V, adsorbed onto a solid adsorbent. The adsorbent, as indicated in the figure, is assumed to be an ideal solid surface composed of a series of distinct sites capable of binding the adsorbate.
