Sound

Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-009054

A mechanical wave that propagates through a medium, such as air, by means of oscillations in pressure or displacement. In meteorology, the speed of sound is influenced by air temperature and humidity, making it a useful parameter for atmospheric measurements. The study of sound propagation in the atmosphere is relevant to phenomena like thunder and acoustic sounding techniques.
