downwell

To sink below material of lower density.

Some of the northward-flowing waters turn eastward and enter the Throughflow sponge above 1300 m (Figure 5b), where they downwell and return to the interior and spread both to the south and the north (Figure 5c).

Ozone in the upper troposphere which downwells to the surface can also result from photochemical production enhanced by high levels of NOx from the natural stratosphere, aircraft emissions of NOx in the upper troposphere [Liu et al., 1980],

To penetrate water downward.

This measurement, as Region 4 stated, has been "commonly used to measure marine turbidity; it does not measure downwelling ambient light."

There is a practical depth limit from which the radiance is reflected. Gordon & McCluny (1975) call the depth at which the spectral radiance downwelled from the surface falls to 1/e of its initial energy 'the first optical attenuation length'.

A vertical shaft or well in which water flows downward.

The proposed work includes enlarging the basin and installing downwells for percolation.

A 14-foot by 14-foot shaft, or downwell, located downstream of the intake structure permits flow to fall approximately 36 feet to a pool Torraed by a 10-foot deep rock trap.

Synonym of downwelling.

Warm-water eddies are downwells and cold-water eddies facilitate vertical mixing rather than induce upwelling.

By measuring downwell and wellhead temperature, wellbore heat losses through the casing to the formation can be measured.

In general, the present-day measured downwell temperatures are lower than those indicated by the alteration mineralogy (i.e. epidote, wairakite, laumontite, and clays)
