Les causes [de déclenchement d'une avalanche] proviennent le plus souvent de conditions météorologiques datant de plusieurs jours, voire de plusieurs semaines, ces conditions ayant entraîné la formation de couches fragiles, responsables d'une mauvaise liaison entre les couches supérieures et le reste du manteau neigeux. [...] Conséquence de l'interaction de nombreux paramètres, dont certains sont difficilement quantifiables ou encore mal connus, le risque d'avalanche n'est pas mesurable. Son estimation ne peut donc s'envisager que dans le cadre d'une expertise humaine. Une fois fixées les échelles de travail dans l'espace et dans le temps, le prévisionniste avalanche base son expertise sur un ensemble de mesures et d'observations effectuées sur et dans le manteau neigeux. 5, record 1, French, - pr%C3%A9visionniste%20avalanche

In 2011, AAFC [Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada]-STB [Science and Technology Branch of the National Agroclimate Information Service] built an in-situ sensor network where soil moisture and meteorological data are collected in agricultural landscapes within Ontario, Manitoba and Saskatchewan over a total of 18 stations. To meet the objectives of various research projects, the RISMA system was designed to provide near-real time soil moisture and meteorological data. The field data is transmitted to an AAFC server on a timely basis. A Web segment of the sensor system is to be developed to enable data sharing based on Open Geospatial Consortium(OGC) standards and it can be divided into two sections : 1) transferring the data from AAFC server to a Web server based on interoperable protocols, and 2) data visualization and distribution by serving the data to the public on a Web-based platform. 3, record 3, English, - Real%2Dtime%20in%20situ%20soil%20monitoring%20for%20agriculture

IUCAF is an international committee(set up in 1960 by URSI, IAU, and COSPAR) that works in the field of spectrum management on behalf of the passive radio sciences, like radio astronomy, remote sensing, space research, and meteorological remote sensing. The IUCAF brief is to study and coordinate the requirements for radio frequency allocations established by the afore-mentioned sciences and to make these requirements known to the national and international bodies responsible for frequency allocations. IUCAF has official standing as a nonvoting organisation at the ITU, the International Telecommunication Union, located in Geneva, Switzerland. 4, record 11, English, - Scientific%20Committee%20on%20Frequency%20Allocations%20for%20Radio%20Astronomy%20and%20Space%20Science
