Although the snowpack seems to be trending towards increasing strength, the deep instabilities of the early season have not completely disappeared. The midpack is settling into a bridging layer but in shallow locations it may still be possible to trigger the deep instabilities. 1, record 6, English, - bridging%20layer
Record number: 6, Textual support number: 1 OBS
"Bridging layer" means that a layer has become thick and strong enough that it can provide a "bridge" over the weak layers underlying it. So weight applied on the surface will have a harder time penetrating through the strong "midpack" and triggering the weaker snow near the bottom. "Bridging" is impossible to quantify and if the bridge fails then the result is normally a very large avalanche.

Record number: 6, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Si la plaque est dure, c'est-à-dire de dureté élevée ou presque, on peut alors utiliser le terme «couche (de neige) dure». Par contre, si la plaque est tendre («plaque friable») ou si sa dureté exacte n'est pas connue, c'est-à-dire peut être comprise entre «faible» et «très élevée», alors, il est préférable d'utiliser «couche (de neige) d'une certaine cohésion». 2, record 6, French, - couche%20dure
Record number: 6, Textual support number: 2 OBS
Le terme «couche (de neige) cohésive» est assez peu utilisé en français car ce terme ne précise pas le type de cohésion qu'il y a au sein de la couche, et qui est un élément très important. De préférence, utiliser les termes «couche (de neige) dure» ou «couche (de neige) d'une certaine cohésion», selon le cas. 2, record 6, French, - couche%20dure

Le principe du thermomètre à renversement («reversing thermometer» en anglais, «Umkehrthermometer» en allemand, «oprokidyvaïouchtchïïssia termometer» en russe) réside dans le fait que la température se bloque à la profondeur souhaitée, car [la] colonne de mercure se brise [au moment] du renversement du thermomètre (qui se fait souvent par le choc produit par une navette ou un messager qu'on fait glisser le long du câble). La température ne subit donc aucune influence [au moment] de la remontée. L'autre difficulté concernait la déformation due à la pression qui, dans les lacs très profonds, est telle que la lecture en est transformée. La protection dans un double tube en verre, dont seul le plus externe souffre la pression, est la technique la plus pratique. 3, record 9, French, - thermom%C3%A8tre%20%C3%A0%20renversement

Au XIXème siècle, les trois questions fondamentales que se posent les océanographes concernent la topographie des fonds, les conditions physiques du milieu, l'existence et la nature de la faune sous-marine. Les outils dont on dispose pour y répondre sont sommaires. Pour mesurer la profondeur, on utilise une ligne de sonde, à main ou à manivelle. Ce n'est qu'en 1878 avec l'invention du thermomètre à renversement, que l'on peut connaître les températures en profondeur. 4, record 9, French, - thermom%C3%A8tre%20%C3%A0%20renversement
