noun
- a dense fog that consists of fine particles of ice
|
| icing |

noun
- A sweet glaze made primarily of sugar and often flavored, typically used for baked goods; frosting.
- (context, sports) A minor violation of ice hockey rules, occurring when a player shoots the puck from his/her side of the red line so that it crosses the goal line on the opponent's side, and the next player to touch the puck is an opponent player other than the goalie. A team playing short-handed is not penalized for this.

noun
- a stretch of sunny and warm days during late autumn
- (figuratively) the late autumn of life; a late flowering of activity before old age
|
| inversion |
|
noun
- (music) The move of one pitch in an interval or chord up or down an octave
- (music) The reversal of an interval
- (music) The reversal of the pitch contour
- (music) The reversal of a pitch class succesion such as a melody or counterpoint, contrapuntal line
- (music) Subtraction of pitch classes in a set from twelve which maps intervals onto their complements with respect to 0 and preserves interval classes, symbolized IX where X is the transposition which is inverted (DeLone? et. al. (Eds.), 1975, chap. 6).
- (genetics) a segment of DNA in the context of a chromosome that is reversed in orientation relative to a reference karyotype or genome
- (Weather). An increase of air temperature with increase in altitude (the ground being colder than the surrounding air). When an inversion exists, there are no convection currents and wind speeds are below 5 knots. The atmosphere is stable and normally is considered the most favorable state for ground release of chemical agents.
- (grammar) deviation, Deviation from standard word order by putting the predicate before the subject. It takes place in questions with auxiliary verbs and in normal, affirmative clauses beginning with a negative particle, for the purpose of emphasis.
- (with an auxiliary verb) Inversion takes place in the sentence 'Is she here?' — 'is', the predicate, is before 'she', the subject.
- (for the purpose of emphasis) Inversion takes place in the sentence 'Never have I done that.' — 'have', the predicate, is before 'I', the subject, due to 'never' being the first word of the sentence.

| ionosphere |
|
noun
- The part of the earth's atmosphere beginning at an altitude of about 50 kilometers (31 miles) and extending outward 500 kilometers (310 miles) or more.

| isobar |
|
noun
- (Weather) A line drawn on a map or chart connecting places of equal or constant pressure.
- In meteorology, it most often refers to a line drawn through all points of equal atmospheric pressure along a given reference surface, such as a constant height surface (notably mean-sea-level on surface charts); the vertical plane of a synoptic cross section, or a map of the air unaffected by surface heating or cooling. The pattern of isobars has always been a main feature of surface chart analysis. Until recently it was standard procedure to draw isobars at 3-millibar intervals. However, the advent of constant pressure charts for upper-air analysis has brought about the use of 4-millibar intervals to simplify the conversion from surface isobars to 1,000-millibar contour lines.
- (physics) either of two nuclides of different elements having the same mass number
- thermodynamics. A set of points or conditions at constant pressure

|
adjective

|
noun - A line of equal or constant temperature on a graph or chart, such as a weather map.
