| Terms for subject Environment (5171 entries) |
| air conditioning (A system or process for controlling the temperature and sometimes the humidity and purity of the air in a house, etc.) | luftkondisjonering | |
| air movement (Air movements within the Earth's atmospheric circulation; also called planetary winds. Two main components are recognized: first, the latitudinal meridional component due to the Coriolis force (a deflecting motion or force discussed by G.G. de Coriolis in 1835. The rotation of the Earth causes a body moving across its surface to be deflected to the right in the N hemisphere and to the left in the S hemisphere); and secondly, the longitudinal component and the vertical movement, resulting largely from varying pressure distributions due to differential heating and cooling of the Earth's surface) | luftbevegelse | |
| air pollutant (Any pollutant agent or combination of such agents, including any physical, chemical, biological, radioactive substance or matter which is emitted into or otherwise enters the ambient air and can, in high enough concentrations, harm humans, animals, vegetation or material) | luftforurensende stoff | |
| air pollution (Presence in the atmosphere of large quantities of gases, solids and radiation produced by the burning of natural and artificial fuels, chemical and other industrial processes and nuclear explosions) | luftforurensning | |
| air quality (The degree to which air is polluted; the type and maximum concentration of man-produced pollutants that should be permitted in the atmosphere) | luftkvalitet | |
| air quality control (The measurement of ambient air-pollution concentrations in order to determine whether there is a problem in a given region) | luftkvalitetskontroll | |
| air quality management (Regulate and plan and work toward the accomplishment of completion of stated goals, objectives and mission pertaining to air quality) | luftkvalitetsforvaltning | |
| air quality monitoring (Regular checking and recording of air quality in a given area. The following pollutants must be considered: carbon monoxide, benzene, butadiene, lead, sulphur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, and particulates) | luftkvalitetsovervåking | |
| air safety (Any measure, technique or design intended to reduce the risk of harm posed by either moving vehicles or projectiles above the earth's surface or pollutants to the earth's atmosphere) | luftsikkerhet | |
| air temperature (The temperature of the atmosphere which represents the average kinetic energy of the molecular motion in a small region and is defined in terms of a standard or calibrated thermometer in thermal equilibrium with the air) | lufttemperatur | |
| air traffic (Aircraft moving in flight or on airport runways) | lufttrafikk | |
| air traffic law (International rules and conventions relating to air transportation) | lufttrafikklovgivning | |
| air traffic regulation | lufttrafikkforskrift | |
| air transportation (The use of aircraft, predominantly airplanes, to move passengers and cargo) | lufttransport | |
| air-water interaction (The physical processes at the air-water interface: momentum, heat and mass transfer across the air-water interface, mixing of surface water by wind stress and wave breaking, directional wave spectra and wave forces on offshore structures. The air-water interaction is measured by the turbulence and gas exchanges resulting from the mixing of the water column by wind) | luft/vanninteraksjon | |
| airborne noise (Noise caused by the movement of large volumes of air and the use of high-pressure air) | luftbåren støy | |
| aircraft (Any structure, machine, or contrivance, especially a vehicle, designed to be supported by the air, either by the dynamic action of the air upon the surfaces of the structure or object or by its own buoyancy) | luftfartøy | |
| aircraft engine emission (The formation and discharge of gaseous and particulate pollutants into the environment, especially the stratosphere, chiefly from airplanes, helicopters and other high-altitude aircrafts) | utslipp fra fly | |
| aircraft noise (Effective sound output of the various sources of noise associated with aircraft operation, such as propeller and engine exhaust, jet noise, and sonic boom) | flystøy | |
| airport (A landing and taking-off area for civil aircraft, usually with surfaced runways and aircraft maintenance and passenger facilities) | lufthavn |
