The water mass formed in the Arctic Ocean by a combination of freezing on the arctic shelf and deep winter convection in the Greenland and Norwegian Seas.  3, record 1, English, - Arctic%20bottom%20water

Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT

Freezing increases the salinity under the ice; the dense water sinks to the ocean floor and leaves the arctic basins to enter the Greenland and Norwegian Seas, where it mixes with water that sinks under the influence of surface cooling. The resulting water mass has a salinity of 34. 95 psu [practical salinity unit] and a temperature of-0. 8° to-0. 9° C. It fills the Arctic Ocean at all depths below 800 m, the sill depth to the Atlantic. It enters the Atlantic in bursts, when the passage of atmospheric depressions lifts the thermocline and allows Arctic bottom water to flow over the sill.  3, record 1, English, - Arctic%20bottom%20water

Deposit of ice crystals in the form of scales, needles, feathers and fans and which forms on objects in the same manner as dew, except that the water vapour of the air is transformed directly into ice crystals.  5, record 3, English, - hoar%20frost

Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 CONT

Hoarfrost [is] a deposit of interlocking ice crystals formed by direct sublimation on objects, usually those of small diameter freely exposed to the air, such as tree branches, plant stems and leaf edges, wires, and poles. Also, frost may form on the skin of an aircraft when a cold aircraft flies into warm and moist air or when it passes through air that is supersaturated with water vapor. Hoarfrost is formed similarly to the way dew is formed except that the temperature of the frosted object must be below freezing. Frost forms when air with a dew point below freezing is brought to saturation by cooling. In addition to its formation on freely exposed objects(air hoar), hoarfrost also forms inside unheated buildings and vehicles, in caves, in crevasses(crevasse hoar), on snow surfaces(surface hoar), and in air spaces within snow, especially below a snow crust(depth hoar). Hoarfrost is more fluffy and feathery than rime, which in turn is lighter than glaze. Hoarfrost is designated light or heavy(frost) depending upon the amount and uniformity of deposition.  6, record 3, English, - hoar%20frost

Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 OBS

Hoarfrost [is] due to nocturnal radiation. Hoarfrost forms during still, clear nights, is small in amount, needlelike in texture, the "needles" approximately perpendicular to the objects on which they occur, and most abundant along the edges.  7, record 3, English, - hoar%20frost

Distribution of Permafrost.- Permafrost underlies more than 50% of the ground surface of Canada. The two major divisions of permafrost are continuous permafrost and discontinuous permafrost. In the continuous permafrost zone, permafrost occurs everywhere beneath the ground surface except large bodies of water. In the far north, it may be more than 500 m thick. The discontinuous permafrost zone is broken into two other divisions: the widespread permafrost zone, where permafrost underlies 50-90% of the land area, and the sporadic permafrost zone, where it occurs mostly inpeatlands and underlies 10-50% of the land area.  3, record 4, English, - permafrost%20distribution

Distribution du pergélisol.- Le pergélisol est sous-jacent à plus de 50 % de la surface du Canada. Les deux types principaux de pergélisol sont le pergélisol continu et le pergélisol discontinu. Dans la zone à pergélisol continu, le pergélisol est présent partout sous la surface du sol, à l'exception des grandes étendues d'eau. Dans le Grand Nord il atteint plus de 500 m d'épaisseur. La zone à pergélisol discontinu comporte deux sous-divisions : la zone à pergélisol étendu, où le pergélisol est sous-jacent à 50-90 % de la surface, et la zone à pergélisol sporadique, où il est présent surtout sous les tourbières et est sous-jacent à 10-50 % de la surface.  1, record 4, French, - distribution%20du%20perg%C3%A9lisol
