La glaciologie est l'étude de la glace naturelle sous toutes ses formes : neige, glace de glacier, de rivière, de lac, de mer, glace dans le sol, etc. Les cristaux de glace et de neige dans l'atmosphère sont plutôt étudiés par les météorologues au titre de la physique des précipitations. L'étude des glaciers conduit naturellement à rechercher les mécanismes de l'érosion glaciaire et de la formation des moraines, mais l'étude des formes de relief et des dépôts dus à d'anciens glaciers est laissée aux géomorphologues et aux géologues «quaternaristes».  2, record 1, French, - glaciologie

Record number: 12, Textual support number: 1 CONT

The Bergeron-Findeisen process describes how ice crystals grow at the expense of supercooled water droplets in a water-saturated environment. This process is of particular importance in mid- to high latitudes where clouds routinely extend upward to subfreezing temperatures. Determining the ratio of supercooled droplets to ice crystals and the rate at which a cloud becomes glaciated aids a forecaster’s ability to predict winter precipitation types and amounts. Making these determinations is based on an understanding of the Bergeron-Findeisen process.  2, record 12, English, - Findeisen%2DBergeron%20nucleation%20process

Record number: 12, Textual support number: 2 CONT

In 1911, Alfred Wegener, a geologist... originally proposed a theory of ice crystal growth based on the difference in saturated water-vapor pressure between ice crystals and supercooled water droplets. In the 1930's, the Swedish meteorologist Tor Bergeron and the German meteorologist Walter Findeisen contributed further to the theory which became known as the Bergeron-Findeisen process.  2, record 12, English, - Findeisen%2DBergeron%20nucleation%20process

The Bergeron process is most important in clouds with temperatures below freezing. It involves interactions between ice particles, supercooled water, and water vapor - hence the name "three-phase process".  3, record 12, English, - Findeisen%2DBergeron%20nucleation%20process

Record number: 12, Textual support number: 1 CONT

Lorsque la température d'un nuage est inférieure au point de congélation, il peut y avoir coexistence de cristaux de glace et de gouttelettes surfondues. Or, étant donné que la tension de vapeur est plus faible pour la glace que pour l'eau surfondue, et que l'air humide y a atteint son point de saturation, il est donc, dans ce cas, déjà sursaturé par rapport à la glace. Cette propriété de la vapeur d'eau fait en sorte que dès qu'il y a formation de cristaux de glace dans un nuage, ceux-ci se mettent à grossir, souvent aux dépens des gouttelettes. C'est ce qu'on appelle l'effet Bergeron : après avoir atteint une taille suffisante, ils tombent du nuage et fondent dans une couche où la température est supérieure au point de congélation. Mais la croissance des cristaux de glace par le seul effet Bergeron est plutôt lent 4 heures pour obtenir une goutte de pluie de seulement 2 mm.  5, record 12, French, - processus%20de%20nucl%C3%A9ation%20de%20Findeisen%2DBergeron
