A second type of subtropical cyclone is a mesoscale low originating in or near a frontolyzing zone of horizontal wind shear, with radius of maximum sustained winds generally less than 30 miles. The entire circulation may initially have a diameter of less than 100 miles. These generally short-lived systems may be either cold core or warm core. 1, record 1, English, - warm%20core

«Warm-core» (cœur chaud) signifie que le cœur de la dépression est relativement plus chaud que son environnement pour une même surface de pression (une «surface de pression» étant une autre manière de mesurer la hauteur ou l'altitude). 1, record 1, French, - noyau%20chaud

Structurellement, dans les cyclones tropicaux, les vents les plus forts se situent près du sol (conséquence d'être un «warm-core» dans la troposphère), alors que dans les dépressions des latitudes moyennes, les vents les plus forts sont près de la tropopause (conséquence d'être un «warm-core» dans la stratosphère et un «cold-core» dans la troposphère). 1, record 2, French, - noyau%20froid

The Mid-Ocean Dynamics Experiment(MODE), carried out between March and July of 1973, was a collection of twelve experimental and theoretical scientific projects performed simultaneaously. Using different instruments to measure the same phenomena from dissimilar views, the project explored the role of mesoscale eddy motions in the dynamics of general oceanic circulation. The collection primarily consists of correspondence, notes, meeting minutes, proposals, strategy statements, and reports from the working files of various project members. 3, record 4, English, - Mid%2DOcean%20Dynamics%20Experiment
