Term Definition Contributor Modified
Transient ELA The ELA at any instant, particularly during the ablation season. The transient ELA is not in general the same as the average altitude of the transient snowline. The superimposed ice zone lies below th e transient snowline and above the transient ELA. GCW Glossary 2023.03.27
Transient equilibrium line The equilibrium line at any instant, where cumulative ablation balances cumulative accumulation relative to the start of the mass-balance year. GCW Glossary 2023.03.27
TransientEvent No definition provided Ryan McGranaghan 2023.04.16
Transient layer The Transient Layer is the near-surface Ice-Rich layer marking the long term position of the contact between the Active Layer and the upper part of the Permafrost. The Transient Layer is a typically p art of the uppermost Permafrost but, under certain conditions, occasionally joins the Active Layer. GCW Glossary 2023.03.27
Transient snowline The snowline at any instant, particularly during the ablation season. GCW Glossary 2023.03.27
Transient sources No definition provided Ryan McGranaghan 2023.04.16
Transient talik A layer or body of unfrozen ground (in a permafrost area) that is gradually being eliminated by freezing. GCW Glossary 2023.03.27

Transit-instrument No definition provided Christopher Rauch 2023.12.01
Transit instruments An instrument mounted so as to allow it to be pointed only at objects in the sky crossing the local meridian. Also known as transit telescopes. Ryan McGranaghan 2023.04.16

Transition probabilities The probability that a quantum-mechanical system will make a transition from a given initial state to a given final state. Ryan McGranaghan 2023.04.16
transition region That region of the solar atmosphere lying between the chromosphere and the corona where the temperature rises from 104K to 106K. The transition region is only a few thousand kilometers thick. Ryan McGranaghan 2023.04.16
