Parallèlement à l'utilisation de l'ypérite, les Allemands introduisent sur le champ de bataille [...] les premières arsines chargées dans des obus à croix bleue. Il s'agissait de diphénylchloroarsine, un produit solide qui nécessitait une charge explosive suffisante pour assurer la mise en aérosol du produit. Celui-ci était contenu dans une bouteille en verre noyée au milieu de l'explosif dans le corps de l'obus. Le produit, pulvérisé par l'explosion de la charge, se transformant momentanément en vapeur grâce à la chaleur dégagée, était susceptible de traverser les filtres des masques protecteurs. Ses effets incapacitants et sternutatoires devaient alors rendre intolérable le port du masque. 8, record 2, French, - chlorodiph%C3%A9nylarsane

Advanced Visible and Near-Infrared Radiometer(AVNIR) is an optical sensor for measuring surface reflectance in 3 visible bands and 1 near-infrared band. The three visible bands are indicated by blue, green and red while the near-infrared band is suitable to observe vegetation. AVNIR has 4 multispectral bands of 16 m resolution and 1 panchromatic band of 8 m resolution. AVNIR scans about 80 km swath width along the cross track, using the large lineararray CCDs [Charged Coupled Devices] with 5, 000 pixels(multispectral band) and 10, 000 pixels(panchromatic band). 2, record 3, English, - advanced%20visible%20and%20near%20infrared%20radiometer
