isoflux

noun

Etymology

From iso- + flux.

Definitions

  1. The product obtained by multiplying the flux measurement by the isotopic signature.

    • It is even more difficult when one considers that the disequilibrium is spatially variable so that the global isoflux must be properly flux-weighted for the effect of different regions.
    • As the leaf isoflux slowly diminishes, the respiration isoflux, that has lagged photosynthesis due to the slow increase in soil temperature, takes over bringing about a seasonal minimum in late summer/early fall.
    • Trends in F_N were mimicked by that of the isoflux, but in the opposite direction, since isoflux is a product of a negative flux and a negative isotopic signature (Fig. 5).
  2. Pertaining to a uniform level of flux.

    • The rms of thermal fluctuations at the wall were zero for the isothermal condition and nonzero for the isoflux condition.
    • An isoflux antenna can be used to counteract the change of free-space loss throughout an orbital pass to maintain a constant link margin.
    • Asymmetry can also occur if adjacent channel walls are isothermal but at different temperatures or isoflux but dissipating different heat fluxes.
