... imaging radar systems are active sensors that "illuminate" surface features with broadcast microwave energy and record a returned signal. Most imaging radar systems produce microwaves with wavelengths between 1 cm and 1 meter, longer than the wavelengths used in weather radar to detect rain and snow. These longer wavelength microwave signals propagate through the atmosphere and clouds with almost no interaction or weakening. As a result imaging radar systems can be used to map surface features day or night and in almost any weather conditions. These characteristics make radar imaging especially useful in tropical and polar regions where persistent cloud cover hampers optical remote sensing efforts. 2, record 6, English, - surface%20feature

A competitive sport in which participants run cross-country using only a map and a compass to find their way between various checkpoints and to the finish line. There is no designated route to be followed; competitors must find the best way of getting to each checkpoint. Individuals leave the starting line at designated intervals and cover the course separately; the competitor with the lowest elapsed time is the winner. 1, record 14, English, - orienteering

Sport [...] proche de la course à pied d'endurance [où] chaque concurrent, muni d'une carte topographique, doit se rendre, dans les meilleurs délais et selon un ordre qu'il doit établir lui-même, en des points précis qui constituent les postes de contrôle, distants parfois de plusieurs kilomètres les uns des autres. L'épreuve dure au total une heure ou deux heures. En général, le parcours représente une distance de 10 à 15 km. Comme son nom l'indique, ce sport fait appel à des qualités d'orientation, en plus des qualités requises pour la course à pied d'endurance. Épreuve contre la montre, sur un parcours balisé à découvrir, la course d'orientation développe les facultés de débrouillardise et d'observation. 1, record 14, French, - course%20d%27orientation
