The opacity of the Martian atmosphere is still not clear(no pun intended) : The analysis of frequent HST [Hubble Space Telescope] observations of Mars’ clouds and dustiness still yields values significantly below those reported by the Pathfinder IMP [interplanetary monitoring platform] camera team. E. g. on July 9th the optical depth from dust in the Pathfinder area was found by Hubble to be about 0. 2, with hardly any noticeable clouds.  3, record 2, English, - optical%20depth

... Charnock's formula for the atmospheric side makes physically much more sense than for the ocean side. For the atmosphere, one can imagine a wind blowing over roughness elements somehow related to the wave height. This is not quite correct, because waves are constantly moving and changing their shape, but it yields reasonable results. For the ocean side, however, you have breaking waves injecting turbulence into the ocean. So the length-scale of turbulence near the surface is more likely connected to the turbulence spectrum caused by the breaking events, rather than to the wave height. This implies that Charnock's formula lacks a clear physical interpretation. People use it mainly for the lack of better models.  1, record 3, English, - Charnock%26rsquo%3Bs%20formula

Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 CONT

An advection freeze occurs when cooling by advection predominates, and a radiation freeze occurs when radiational heat loss is the predominant form of cooling.... An advection freeze occurs when a large mass of Arctic air invades and covers the region resulting in low day and night temperatures. Conditions can be clear or cloudy with strong winds which continue into the night. Due to the wind there is considerable mixing of the lower layers of the atmosphere.  3, record 4, English, - advection%20frost

Planning of a multi-spectral auroral imaging observatory(AURIO) has been on its way for some years now in the ESA Programme(Stadsnes et al. 1987). In 1990 ESA selected AURIO together with an advanced particle and fields observatory, APAFO, to constitute the Space Science Elements in the Polar Platform Programme, but without accommodating these experiments on the first mission called ENVISAT-1. As of today it is not yet clear when AURIO will be flown. AURIO would provide images of the aurora in the IR, visible and UV-range, and of the X-ray aurora(from few keV to >100 keV) with much better spatial and temporal resolution than yet obtained. Together with the in-situ particle and fields measurements, this would enable studies of fine and medium-scale coupling processes between the magnetosphere and the upper atmosphere.  2, record 5, English, - auroral%20imaging%20observatory
