Seizures and Epilepsy. A seizure occurs when a burst of electrical impulses in the brain escape their normal limits. They spread to neighboring areas and create an uncontrolled storm of electrical activity. The electrical impulses can be transmitted to the muscles, causing twitches or convulsions.
Definition of BAROCLINIC. : relating to a state of a fluid (such as the atmosphere) in which surfaces of constant pressure intersect those of constant density â compare barotropic.
The barotropic flow is the flow at the zero-crossing depth of the baroclinic mode. It is the component of flow that acts to cancel the sea surface flow. An example can be seen in this figure here. The large sea surface velocity is due to the pressure gradient from the slope of the sea surface.
