A tornado that occurs within supercells that contain well-established midlevel mesocyclones.  2, record 2, English, - supercell%20tornado

Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT

The supercell tornado is the most common and most violent type of tornado. These storms are formed from the rotating supercell thunderstorm, due to a clockwise change in wind direction with height. This changing of the wind direction with height causes horizontal tubes of spinning air to form. A thunderstorm updraft tilts the horizontally spinning tube of air into the vertical and stretches it out forming a small area of low pressure called a "Meso Low" which enhances the low level winds which ultimately leads to the formation of a tornado. Supercell tornadoes can exist for up to six hours, grow to diameters greater than a mile, and produce winds up to 300 mph. The visible funnel cloud forms because of the significant air pressure drop in the region of the meso low and tornado. The lower air pressure allows water vapor to condense into cloud droplets at a lower altitude, forming a cloud around the spinning funnel of air. In areas of the country, such as Colorado, where low level moisture may be lacking, a tornado may occur with no visible funnel cloud at all.  3, record 2, English, - supercell%20tornado

La tornade supercellulaire se forme quand les vents de la basse atmosphère se trouvent dans la bonne configuration et sont remontés dans un orage, qu'ils font tournoyer. La «bonne» configuration est celle d'un profil de vent dextrogyre, c'est-à-dire de vent qui tourne dans le sens des aiguilles d'une montre, par exemple des vents du sud à la surface, des vents du sud-ouest à 609 mètres et des vents d'ouest à 2 438 m. Bien entendu, les «ingrédients» doivent d'abord être présents : l'instabilité, l'humidité (le carburant) et un déclencheur (un front froid en constitue un bon, mais il en existe beaucoup d'autres).  2, record 2, French, - tornade%20supercellulaire

[...] les tornades supercellulaires peuvent exhiber un caractère très dévastateur. [Elles] dépendent d'un mécanisme générateur comprenant une couche verticale de l'atmosphère nettement plus grande. Elles sont issues comme leur nom l'indique de supercellules, des orages exhibant une colonne d'air ascendante et tourbillonnaire de l'ordre de 5-20 km de diamètre et 3-7 km de hauteur, à ne pas confondre avec la tornade elle-même. Ce mésocyclone, comme on nomme cette colonne, est souvent détectable par radar doppler et permet au prévisionniste d'anticiper parfois de 20 minutes le développement d'une tornade. Toutefois, bien qu'une tornade supercellulaire nécessite un mésocyclone pour se former, la présence d'un mésocyclone à lui seul ne garantit pas qu'une tornade s'ensuive.  3, record 2, French, - tornade%20supercellulaire

Une tornade peut prendre naissance de trois façons : par une configuration particulière des vents dans la basse atmosphère (tornade supercellulaire), par l'inversion d'un vortex déjà présent dans l'atmosphère (tornade en forme d'entonnoir) ou par la création d'un vortex par une forte rafale descendante (tornade de front de rafales). La tornade supercellulaire est la plus grosse et la plus forte des trois types, mais celle en forme d'entonnoir est la plus courante.  2, record 2, French, - tornade%20supercellulaire

A type of (non-recording) raingauge approved as standard at the national level.  1, record 3, English, - standard%20raingauge

Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 CONT

[The National Weather Services uses]... a "Standard Rain Gage"(SRG) [consisting] of a funnel 8 inches in diameter, leading to a tube inside the gage. The inside tube can hold up to 2 inches of rain; any excess will flow into the main container to be measured after the inside tube is emptied. The rainfall is measured using a specially calibrated dipstick. During the winter, the funnel and inside tube are removed; snow falls into the main container, and then is melted to determine the liquid equivalent of the snowfall.  8, record 3, English, - standard%20raingauge

The Universal [rain gauge] is a weighing type of gauge with mechanical linkages that lead to a pen on a strip-chart. In the NWS [National Weather Services], the gauge orifice has usually been 8 inches in diameter. The gauge is used in all seasons and has an antifreeze-type solution so the snow in winter melts and is added to the total liquid. ... The Standard Rain Gauge (SRG) is similar to the Universal in diameter but is simply a can that collects precipitation to be read manually. Both the Universal and the SRG could be considered a standard gauge with an 8 inch diameter.  3, record 3, English, - standard%20raingauge

A calibrated funnel commonly used in field tests to determine the viscosity of drilling mud.  2, record 4, English, - Marsh%20funnel

Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 OBS

It consists of a copper funnel, about 30-cm long with a 15-cm diameter at the top, which has a 10-mesh screen over half its diameter to remove debris and a 6-mm-diameter exit tube at the bottom through which the rate of flow is timed. It takes 26 seconds for a quart of clean water to flow through and correspondingly longer for muds of greater viscosity. Gel strength is measured by comparing the rate of flow of freshly agitated mud with that which has been allowed to remain quiescent for 10 minutes.  3, record 4, English, - Marsh%20funnel
