... the "Atmospheric Surface Layer" (ASL), the layer of the atmosphere within which all our activities (except flying) take place. The ASL is the inner layer of the PBL within which vertical mixing is limited by proximity to the ground - a layer within which the eddy size is small because the solid barrier prohibits any organized downward (or upward) motion. Vast amounts of heat and vapour travel through this surface layer to the outer PBL and ultimately the whole atmosphere. 8, record 2, English, - surface%20boundary%20layer

Emporté à de hautes altitudes, un laser aéroporté présente l'avantage d'une grande mobilité et de pertes moindres au niveau de la transmission atmosphérique. [...] L'Agence des États-Unis pour la défense antimissile, l'U.S Air Force et plusieurs sociétés industrielles travaillent en collaboration sur le projet de laser aéroporté (ABL) et comptent faire la démonstration en 2004 de sa capacité à abattre des missiles balistiques. Le laser aéroporté devrait pouvoir être utilisé également pour des activités antisatellites. 6, record 3, French, - laser%20a%C3%A9roport%C3%A9
