A process by which differently directed field lines link up, allowing topological changes of the magnetic field to occur, determining patterns of plasma flow, and resulting in conversion of magnetic e
nergy to kinetic and thermal energy of the plasma. Reconnection is invoked to explain the energization and acceleration of the plasmas that are observed in solar flares, magnetic substorms, and elsewhere in the solar system.
A glacier that is reconstructed or reconstituted out of other glacier material; usually formed by seracs falling from a hanging glacier then re-adhering; also called reconstructed glacier, regenerated
glacier, or glacier remainie.
A glacier formed below the terminus of a hanging glacier by the accumulation, and reconstitution by pressure melting (regelation), of ice blocks that have fallen and/or avalanched from the terminus of
the hanging glacier. Also called Glacier Remani
an identifiable collection of information items unified by some criteria (authorship, subject, scope, extent...) (based on ISO 19115). Generalized concept that can apply to a metadata register, a data
set, or a collection of annotation items.
Numerical object that monitors what is happening during a numerical analysis and generates an output for the user. In storm simulation it is called monitoring station.
