| absolute |
1. With respect to atmospheric motions, refers to an absolute coordinate system; for example, absolute vorticity as distinguished from relative vorticity. 2. In climatology, the highest or lowest recorded value of a meteorological element, whether at a single station or over an area, during a given period. It is most frequently applied to extremes of temperature: absolute maximum is the highest recorded shade temperature; absolute minimum is the lowest recorded. 3. See Kelvin temperature scale.

| absolute zero |
The zero point of the Kelvin temperature scale, of fundamental significance in thermodynamics and statistical mechanics. It is the linearly extrapolated temperature at which the volume of an ideal gas at constant pressure would vanish. All real gases become liquid or solid at sufficiently low temperatures and maintain a finite volume. Absolute zero on the Kelvin scale corresponds to -273.15
