Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Dans le domaine du réchauffement climatique, il est parfois difficile de saisir le rapport entre l'adjectif «radiatif» et le terme qu'il détermine. Le sens que les dictionnaires généraux reconnaissent à l'adjectif «radiatif» est celui de «relatif aux radiations». De ce fait, il est souvent nécessaire d'intercaler, entre le déterminant et le terme pivot, un terme intermédiaire afin de préciser le sens exact de radiatif : «gaz à effet radiatif» pour «gaz radiatif» par exemple. 2, record 1, French, - radiatif
