Harmonic function

Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-006173

A function that satisfies Laplace's equation, meaning its Laplacian is zero. Such functions are infinitely differentiable and possess properties like the mean value property and the maximum principle. In atmospheric dynamics, harmonic functions can describe certain steady-state flow patterns or potential fields where there are no sources or sinks.
