- In hydrology, the outflow or discharge of a river is the volume of water transported by it in a certain amount of time. - Outflow (meteorology)Outflow (meteorology)Outflow, in meteorology, is air that flows outwards from a storm system. It is associated with ridging, or anticyclonic flow. In the low levels of the troposphere, outflow radiates from thunderstorms in the form of a wedge of rain-cooled air, which is visible as a thin rope-like cloud on weather...
, in meteorology, is air that flows outwards from a thunderstorm. - Outflow boundaryOutflow boundaryAn outflow boundary, also known as a gust front, is a storm-scale or mesoscale boundary separating thunderstorm-cooled air from the surrounding air; similar in effect to a cold front, with passage marked by a wind shift and usually a drop in temperature and a related pressure jump...
in atmospheric science means thunderstorm-cooled air (outflow) from the surrounding air.
