A barometer also monitors variations in atmospheric pressure. As air becomes thinner, the density of air decreases, and so too does the pressure of air. Many different factors affect the density ...

The rate of cooling is causing the stratosphere to contract, in turn reducing the density of the atmosphere as a whole. The troposphere is growing while the stratosphere is shrinking, Phys.org ...

Thus, forests serve as large water pumps between the soil and the atmosphere. The boundary layer of the canopy is determined by the shape, density, and aerial spread of the crowns of trees in a ...

The physical properties of seawater include both 'thermodynamic properties' like density and freezing point, as well as 'transport properties' like the electrical conductivity and viscosity.
