One of the first three Gospels of the New Testament. See Synoptist.
an adjective derived from synopsesthai, a Greek word meaning, "to view together, or at the same time"; specifically, the adjective refers to the first three gospels of the New Testament.
An adjective derived from the noun 'synopsis', a brief or condensed statement presenting a combined or general view of something. Thus a synoptic chart shows the weather conditions over a large area at a given instant of time.
Deals with the gathering of meteorological data over a large area (such as the United States) at a specified instant in time, for the purpose of projecting the data into the future (to give weather forecasts).
In general, pertaining to or affording an overall view. In meteorology, this term has become somewhat specialized in referring to the use of meteorological data obtained simultaneously over a wide area for the purpose of obtaining a comprehensive and nearly instantaneous picture of the state of the atmosphere. Thus, to a meteorologist, "synoptic" takes on the additional connotation of simultaneity.
gospels Name given to the first three Christian NT gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke), which view the story of Jesus from the same general perspective.
A Greek word which means "to look at together". The synoptic gospels are Matthew, Mark and Luke.
The literal meaning is "seeing together". The Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke are considered to the synoptic Gospels because they report many of the same incidents in the life of Jesus.
having a similar view (NOT to be confused with synopsis). Matthew, Mark, and Luke are known as the "synoptic" gospels.
In meteorology, synoptic refers to meteorological data collected simultaneously over a wide area for the purpose of obtaining a snapshot of the state of the atmosphere.
presenting or taking the same point of view; used especially of the first three gospels of the New Testament; "the synoptic Gospels"
Relating to conditions as they exist simultaneously over a broad area, as of the atmosphere or weather. ()
Large scale motions in the atmosphere (such as depressions) that can be simultaneously observed over a wide area (1000 - 2500 km)
Literally, at one time. Thus, in meteorological usage, the weather conditions over a large area at a given point in time.
(from Gr. syn: same, together; optic: eye, vision) The books of Matthew, Mark, and Luke, which hold essentially the same viewpoint and "look alike," are called the synoptic Gospels.
relating to or displaying conditions as they exist simultaneously over a broad area
means simultaneous. For example, a synoptic weather map displays meteorological conditions observed in different places at a single time. Synoptic also refers to a large or general view of something. For example, an aerial photograph provides a "synoptic," or "bird's eye view" of an area.
Broad view of atmospheric conditions occurring simultaneously.
Refers to the overall condition of the atmosphere at a given time.
Large scale weather systems. Upper level ridges and troughs, large highs and lows.
From the Greek syn (together) and opsis (appearance). A term used to refer to the gospels Mark, Matthew and Luke. They are in general agreement with each other; each conflicts with the Gospel of John in theme, content, time duration, order of events, and style. " Only ca. 8% of ... [John] is parallel to these other gospels, and even then, no such word-for-word parallelism occurs as we find among the synoptic gospels."
