In hydrologic terms, the process by which precipitation is caught and held by foliage, twigs, and branches of trees, shrubs, and other vegetation, and lost by evaporation, never reaching the surface of the ground. Interception equals the precipitation on the vegetation minus streamflow and through fall.

Precipitation trapped by vegetation instead of falling directly on the soil.

The defensive player manages to catch the offense's pass: the offensive turn changes immediately. Syötön katko (Arolainen) Eteenpäinsyötön katkaisu (Pinomaa) "Intteri"

(American football) the act of catching a football by a player on the opposing team

a pass caught by a defensive player who can then run with the ball

a pass caught by the defense, which transfers possession to the defending team

a play in which a team obtains a change of possession by intercepting a pass thrown by the other team

A change of possession where the defense wins the ball back for its offense by catching a pass that was intended for the opposing team's receiver.

Capture of precipitation by surfaces and structures (i.e., vegetation)

A defensive player catches a pass intended for an offensive receiver. When this happens the defense then gains possession of the ball.

Cutting off a pass intended for an opponent.

percipitation that is blocked by the canopy of trees from reaching the ground.

The catching of a forward pass by the defense (this turns the defense suddenly into the offense).

a forward pass where an opposing player legally catches the ball

when a player gets the ball as it is passed between players on the opposing team

The process of rain impinging on vegetation, wetting it, and evaporating; the last is interception loss.

English, An interception is when a fighter manages to efficiently strike or catch a person's limb or other body target as the opponent is attempting to strike, nearly simultaneously. Jeet Kune Do is known literally as the "Way of the Intercepting Fist."

the legal catching of a forward pass thrown by an opposing player.

a pass caught in the air (picked off) by a defender whose team immediately gains possession of the ball and becomes the offense.

A change of possession when a defensive player catches a pass intended for an offensive player.

If a defensive player catches the ball before his knees touch the ground, the ball is intercepted and the defense gains possession.

when the quarterback attempts to pass the ball to one of his teammates, but the other team catches it

Cutting off a pass intended from one opponent to another.

A forward pass by the offense that is caught by a member of the other team's defense.

when the defense catch a ball that was meant to be caught by the offensive team

A pass that the defense catches and is allowed to run with.

When a quarterback passes the ball to a defensive player instead of an offensive player. This is a major error.

1. The amount of precipitation caught on vegetation or structures that is subsequently evaporated without reaching the ground. 2. The process by which precipitation is caught and retained on vegetation or structures, which afterward either reaches the ground as throughfall or is evaporated. As a general rule, this loss to runoff or stream discharge only occurs at the beginning of a storm. 3. The loss of sunshine, a part of which may be intercepted by hills, trees, or tall buildings. This loss must be accounted for when evaluating instrumental records of sunshine. 4. The loss of a portion of the solar spectrum due to absorption and scattering by atmospheric gases and aerosols; commonly refers to the absorption of ultraviolet radiation by ozone and aerosols.

An interception or intercept is a move in many forms of football, including Canadian and American football football, as well as rugby league, rugby union, Australian rules football and Gaelic football, and involves a pass (either by foot or hand) being cut off by an opposition player who usually gains possession for their team.

Interception, or canopy interception, refers to precipitation that does not reach the soil, but is instead intercepted by the leaves and branches of plants. It occurs in the canopy, and in the forest ground litter. Because of evaporation, interception of liquid water leads to loss of that precipitation for the drainage basin.

Filter collection mechanism that occurs when a large particle, because of its size, collides with a fiber in the filter. See also inertial impaction, diffusion, and electrostatic attraction.

A special case of impingement where a particle is small enough to move with the air stream but, because its size is very small in relation to the fiber, makes contact with a fiber while following the tortuous airflow path of the filter. The contact is not dependent on inertia and the particle is retained on the fiber because of the inherent adhesive forces that exist between the particle and fiber. These forces, called van der Waals forces, enable a fiber to trap a particle without the use of inertia.
