Période pendant laquelle se trouvent réunis, dans une région donnée, plusieurs facteurs (en particulier d'ordre météorologique) pouvant rendre beaucoup plus dangereuse qu'elle ne l'est généralement la concentration des polluants atmosphériques. 5, record 2, French, - %C3%A9pisode%20de%20pollution%20atmosph%C3%A9rique

[...] une étude subjective de situations synoptiques stagnantes a montré que des concentrations de bioxyde de soufre et d'aérosols de sulfate peuvent s'accumuler d'une façon importante au-dessus de larges régions en Europe, ce qui se traduit par des dépôts élevés à proximité des sources d'émission et dans d'autres régions lorsque les vents augmentent. Un épisode est souvent le résultat d'une telle succession de faits. Il semble également que des épisodes peuvent naître de la convergence de masses d'air relativement peu pollué vers une position frontale. 6, record 2, French, - %C3%A9pisode%20de%20pollution%20atmosph%C3%A9rique

phase: A term approved by the 8th International Geologic Congress in Paris in 1900 for the geologic-time unit next in order of magnitude below "age" during which the rocks of a "substage" (then referred to as "zone") were formed; a subage.

Dans une représentation à base de scripts (R. Schank, R. Abelson), séquence habituelle d'actions primitives qui entre dans la composition des scripts.

Record number: 5, Textual support number: 1 CONT
La thèse essentielle de Schank et Abelson est qu'il est indispensable de connaître les scripts de nombreuses situations si l'on veut comprendre l'enchaînement des actions intervenant dans toute histoire. Ces scripts décrivent les relations causales entre les différents épisodes et permettent de faire des inférences. Les grands épisodes [...] comportent des sous-scénarios. 4, record 5, French, - sc%C3%A8ne
