What is Glossary of Terms about?

The action of certain atoms and molecules to capture part of the electromagnetic radiation at specific wavelengths. The energy of the absorbed electromagnetic radiation "excites" these structures and increases their temperature. Thus, CO 2 absorbs infrared radiation from the Earth but does not absorb radiation from the Sun in the visible spectrum. Absorbent atoms and molecules in turn emit radiation during the de-excitation or cooling phase; this radiation does not have the same wavelength as the absorbed radiation. ## ADCP (Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler): A device based on the Doppler effect that can record a profile of current speeds and directions using piezoelectric transducers that transmit and receive acoustic signals. Ammonia: A chemical compound with formula NH 3 , gaseous under the temperature and pressure conditions prevailing on Earth, colorless, with a suffocating smell and soluble in water. ## Anaerobic: In an anaerobic environment, there is no dioxygen (O 2 ) present. All the living conditions of living organisms in such an environment are called anaerobiosis. A living organism or anaerobic mechanism does not need air or dioxygen to function.
