Climate change commitment is defined as the unavoidable future climate change resulting from inertia in the geophysical and socio-economic systems.... Climate change commitment is usually quantified in terms of the further change in temperature, but it includes other future changes, for example in the hydrological cycle, in extreme weather events, in extreme climate events, and in sea level. 2, record 1, English, - climate%20change%20commitment

Originally described in the diaries of the missionary Hans Egede Saabye as a see-saw in temperature between Greenland and Denmark(Saabye, 1942), the NAO was later defined by Sir Gilbert Walker as "the tendency for pressure to be low near Iceland in winter when it is high near the Azores and south-west Europe"(Walker, 1924; Walker and Bliss, 1932). Accounting for more than 1/3 of the total variance of the sea level pressure(SLP) field over the North Atlantic, the NAO is most pronounced during the winter months(December through March) due to an increased sea air temperature contrast(Barnston and Livezey, 1987). 4, record 13, English, - North%20Atlantic%20oscillation

While weather elements, such as temperature and pressure, are observed only at particular locations, we can assume that these elements are continuously distributed in the horizontal direction. Such a distribution is called a meteorological field; in other words, for any latitude and longitude, some value of that variable exists without any voids or discontinuities. Isobaric Analysis. Many of the surface analysis charts may contain thin solid lines to depict the features of the horizontal pressure field at mean sea level. These lines are called isobars and connect all points having the same sea level corrected barometric pressure. 2, record 20, English, - horizontal%20pressure%20field

À un moment donné, d'un point à un autre, la pression varie dans l'espace. La distribution géographique des pressions, ce que l'on appelle le champ horizontal de pression, est très variable dans le temps et est soumise à des fluctuations permanentes. À chaque niveau de l'atmosphère on peut mettre en évidence de vastes zones où la pression est relativement élevée, ce sont les anticyclones et d'autres secteurs où la pression est relativement basse, ce sont les dépressions. Comme sur une carte topographique, une représentation du champ de pression fait également apparaître des cols barométriques, des talwegs et des crêtes, ces dernières portant le nom particulier de dorsales anticycloniques. 1, record 20, French, - champ%20horizontal%20de%20pression
