The new French meteorological radar, ROMUALD, has been operational since October 2001 in French Guiana making it possible to gain two hours in forecasting adverse weather conditions. ROMUALD is the first of a series of nine weather radars that, by 2004, will make up a network covering the Greater Caribbean to make better predictions of intense rainfall, and cyclones. The design and operation of ROMUALD("Radar d’observation météorologique d’utilisation aisée localement et à distance")(the easy-to-use local and distance meteorological observation radar) result from the co-operation between Metéo-France and CNES(the French Space Studies Centre [called the "Centre national d’études spatiales"]) [...] 1, record 1, English, - Radar%20d%27observation%20m%C3%A9t%C3%A9orologique%20d%27utilisation%20ais%C3%A9e%20localement%20et%20%C3%A0%20distance

Radar d'observation météorologique d'utilisation aisée localement et à distance. Juchée tout en haut de la Montagne des Pères, à quelques kilomètres de Kourou sur la route de Cayenne, la station météo du Centre Spatial Guyanais vient de se doter d'un nouveau radar plus performant, d'une portée de 400 kilomètres et capable de fournir au centre Météo-France de Cayenne-Rochambeau des données de précipitations toutes les 5 minutes. ROMUALD couvrira les zones habitées du littoral, de Saint-Laurent aux frontières du Brésil, tout en assurant pour le Centre Spatial Guyanais un rôle essentiel de prévision météo lors des lancements Ariane. 1, record 1, French, - Radar%20d%27observation%20m%C3%A9t%C3%A9orologique%20d%27utilisation%20ais%C3%A9e%20localement%20et%20%C3%A0%20distance

Although they look similar when plotted on a weather chart, there is a distinct difference between isobars and isohypses. An isobar connects points of equal barometric pressure normalized to sea level while an isohypse connects points of equal geopotential height. Isohypses are also called height contours. 3, record 4, English, - isohypse
Record number: 4, Textual support number: 2 CONT
Geopotential height approximates the actual height of a pressure surface above mean sea-level. Therefore, a geopotential height observation represents the height of the pressure surface on which the observation was taken. A line drawn on a weather map connecting points of equal height(in meters) is called a height contour. 4, record 4, English, - isohypse

Weather observations at Gander are taken from two locations. The primary observation site is located on the roof of the terminal building; a second observation site is located at ground level about 200 feet from the terminal building. When freezing precipitation is present or suspected, weather observers use an ice accretion indicator composed of a small piece of aluminum alloy similar to that found in aircraft structure. It is placed outside at the observation site and inspected for the presence of freezing precipitation at each observation. Mandatory weather observations are taken every 30 minutes, at the hour and half hour. When freezing precipitation is present, the indicator is removed and a new one installed at each mandatory observation. Prior to installation, the indicator is pre-cooled to ambient temperature. Thus, when observed at the next observation following installation, the indicator shows the type and quantity of freezing precipitation which occurred in the previous 30 minutes. 2, record 12, English, - ice%20accretion%20indicator

Freezing fog may not always deposit rime or glaze on the "Ice Accretion Indicator", however if rime or glaze are evident, it positively indicates the presence of super-cooled water droplets and thus freezing rain, freezing drizzle or freezing fog is occurring. Freezing fog creates a significant risk of airframe icing and is therefore very important operational information for forecasters, pilots, flight service specialists, observers, communicators and others. 3, record 12, English, - ice%20accretion%20indicator

Snow shower is often used interchangeably with snow flurry. However, "a snow shower is a brief period of snowfall that is variable in intensity and begins and ends rapidly. Just as with rain showers, the intensity can be predominantly light, moderate or heavy. A snow flurry is simply a light snow shower."

With the support of the Canadian Coast Guard/Fisheries and Oceans Canada, the division maintains a network of nine moored ODAS(Ocean Data Acquisition Systems) buoys along the coasts of Newfoundland and Nova Scotia. The buoys collect and transmit hourly weather and sea state data 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Data is transmitted to the GOES satellite then relayed to earth stations where it is entered into the Global Telecommunications System(GTS). Archiving of data is done by the Marine Environmental Data Service(MEDS) of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans and by Environment Canada. 1, record 24, English, - Ocean%20Data%20Acquisition%20Systems

Le réseau d'observations synoptiques. La finalité principale de ce réseau est de décrire le plus précisément possible l'état de l'atmosphère, en un instant donné, à la fois en surface (observations réalisées immédiatement au-dessus du sol) et en altitude (radiosondages), d'où la dénomination d'observations synoptiques. En effet, il s'agit non seulement de décrire le temps à cet instant, mais également d'«initialiser» les modèles de prévision numérique qui visent à simuler, à partir d'un état initial connu, l'évolution dynamique de l'atmosphère. Aussi toutes les stations d'observations synoptiques sont-elles tenues de respecter un horaire commun pour les mesures de surface effectuées toutes les trois heures. Ce réseau doit également, pour remplir correctement les missions qui lui sont dévolues, couvrir l'ensemble de la surface terrestre. [...] Toutes les informations collectées sont [...] codées pour être immédiatement diffusées et échangées internationalement par l'intermédiaire du système mondial de télécommunications.
