The calculated ozone reduction is extremely sensitive to any tropospheric sink for the chlorofluoromethanes. For example, only about 1% of the CFMs [chlorofluoromethanes] in the atmosphere is dissociated each year, so that if there were an inactive sink that removes 2% of the CFMs each year without destroying ozone, then the ozone reduction would be only one-third of the estimate without such a sink. 4, record 2, English, - sink

Another criterion for establishing boundaries on physical grounds involves a consideration of areas of material accumulation, or sinks.... in projects involving the release of toxic materials, it is extremely important not only to understand the transport mechanisms involved but to have the site of accumulation included within the assessment boundary, although it may be some distance removed from the geographical focus of the project. 3, record 2, English, - sink

En supposant que l'intensité globale des puits de H2S est égale à celle des sources, on estime qu'environ la moitié de l'émission totale des composés réduits est transformée dans l'air en anhydride sulfureux [...] Les puits les plus importants des particules de sulfates sont fournis par les retombées sèches et humides. La retombée sèche est surtout due à la sédimentation des particules sous l'action de la pesanteur et à l'effet de la diffusion turbulente. 4, record 2, French, - puits

SPI, or Sediment Profile Imagery, is an innovative and cost efficient method of surveying and/or monitoring lake or marine aquatic environments with a view to establishing the environmental status of these habitats or as part of a site suitability study.... SPI is based on single lens reflex(SLR) camera photography and computer-based image analysis which greatly accelerates the time required to write reports and provide relevant data to the client/legislator in a matter of weeks. SPI technology can readily quantify over 20 physical, chemical and biological parameters including : sediment grain size; prism penetration; surface pelletal layer; sediment surface relief; mud clasts; redox area; redox contrast; current apparent redox boundary; relict redox boundaries; methane gas vesicles; apparent faunal dominants; voids; burrows; surface features(e. g. worm tubes, epifauna, shell) ;dredged material; microbial aggregations; and successional stage. 1, record 13, English, - sediment%20profile%20imagery

Des photographies de profils sédimentaires obtenus de carottes prélevées à l'aide de carottiers en plexiglass Hargrave ont servi à mettre au point un moyen nouveau pour déterminer l'enrichissement en matières organiques. Des plongeurs autonomes prélèvent des carottes de sédiments pouvant aller jusqu'à 30 cm de longueur; une fois ramenées à la surface, les carottes sont photographiées, sous-échantillonnées et interprétées. L'interprétation repose sur la profondeur de discontinuité de l'oxydo-réduction et la présence ou l'absence d'organismes, de terriers et de vides, tels que révélés par les photographies numériques. On obtient ainsi un nombre intégré attribuable à l'indice d'enrichissement organique. M. Wildish a prouvé la justesse de cette méthode, appelée imagerie de profils sédimentaires (IPS), aux sites salmonicoles de la baie de Fundy et on prévoit aussi la mettre à l'essai à des installations semblables en Tasmanie (Australie). 1, record 13, French, - imagerie%20de%20profils%20s%C3%A9dimentaires

Infiltration is the physical process involving movement of water through the boundary area where the atmosphere interfaces with the soil. The surface phenomenon is governed by soil surface conditions. Water transfer is related to the porosity of the soil and the permeability of the soil profile. 4, record 15, English, - water%20transfer

Dans les transferts d'eau liquide, il est également montré que toute portion de circuit emprunté par l'eau dans le sol, à l'interface sol-racine ou dans la plante, peut être caractérisée par une résistance. Dans le sol, cette dernière augmente très rapidement lors du dessèchement du sol car l'abaissement de l'humidité correspond au vidage progressif des pores en commençant par les plus gros. Ainsi plus le sol est sec, moins nombreux et plus petits sont les pores qui, pleins d'eau, peuvent participer au transfert d'eau liquide. 1, record 15, French, - transfert%20d%27eau%20liquide
