warm front No definition provided Ryan McGranaghan 2023.04.16
Warm-hot intergalactic medium The space containing a cluster of galaxies filled with a tenuous gas of temperature 105 to 107 K and density 10-6 to 10-4 cm-3. WHIM has been continuously shock-heated during the process of structure formation. It is so highly ionized that it can only absorb or emit far-ultraviolet and soft X-ray photons, primarily at spectral lines of highly ionized C, O, Ne, and Fe. WHIM is thought to be the main reservoir of missing baryons. Ryan McGranaghan 2023.04.16

warm pool No definition provided Ryan McGranaghan 2023.04.16
warm sector That area, within the circulation of a wave cyclone, where the warm air is found. Traditionally, it lies between the cold front and warm front of the storm; in the typical case, the warm sector conti nually diminishes in size and ultimately disappears (at the surface) as the result of occlusion.
