Fires were carried out in June and July, which corresponds to the main fire season for this region of Siberia. Plots were burned under a wide range of fuel moisture and weather conditions to observe effects on fire behaviour, fire severity, emissions, and other ecological factors. All experimental plots were burned using line ignition along the windward side to quickly create equilibrium fire behaviour that mimics wildfires under similar burning conditions...  1, record 1, English, - equilibrium%20fire%20behaviour

Instead of destroying their fields, we should offer farmers an economic alternative to coca cultivation while continuing vigorous enforcement against the traffickers. Prices for coca leaf fall when such enforcement is sustained. Fearing that prices may bottom out, farmers become desperate to unload their coca and would switch to other crops if they could find help to weather the transition. Debt-for-drug swaps would make more funds available for such economic alternatives.  1, record 2, English, - debt%2Dfor%2Ddrug%20swap

In an anchorage where there is little or no current or tidal stream, and in reasonably calm weather, a ship may be pointed to lie at an angle with the line of her cable by putting a spring on her cable. First heave in a shackle or so of cable. Now lead a hawser [...] out through the aftermost quarter fairlead, then for’ard and outboard of all, and shackle it with a joggle shackle to the cable outboard of the hawsepipe, thereby forming a spring. Then belay the hawser and veer the cable, and the ship's head should pay off away from the side on which the spring is rove until pointing in the required direction. Alternatively the hawser may be brought to an after capstan and hove in as the cable is veered.  2, record 3, English, - after%20capstan

Ground-based weather radars emerged during World War II and have since been used to observe precipitation, mostly over land. Ground-based radars send out pulses of microwave energy in narrow beams that scan in a circular pattern. When the microwave pulse encounters precipitation particles in the atmosphere, the energy is scattered in all directions, sending some energy back to the radar. These measurements are used to estimate intensity, altitude, precipitation type(e. g., rain, snow, hail), and motion. Obtaining continuous measurements of precipitation from ground-based systems(e. g., from rain gauges and radar systems) presents a challenge due to large gaps between monitoring sites on land and huge gaps over the ocean.  1, record 4, English, - ground%2Dbased%20weather%20radar

Forecast Models : Forecasters use numerical weather models to make their forecasts. These numerical models are classified into four main classes. The first is global models, which focus on the entire northern hemisphere. The second is national models, which focus on the USA. The third is regional models. These regional models have a finer grid than national models and are run out for smaller periods of time. The final class of models is relocatable models, which do not focus on any permanent geographical location. Relocatable models are very limited on the size of the geographical area for which they can forecast, but these models have very high resolutions, or very small forecast grid boxes.  2, record 10, English, - weather%20forecast%20model

Weatherman, also known as the Weather Underground Organization and, colloquially, sometimes ’the Weathermen’, were a U. S. Radical Left organization consisting of splintered-off members and leaders of the Students for a Democratic Society. Its members referred to themselves as a "revolutionary organization of communist women and men, "and carried out guerilla actions, often characterized as terrorist, to achieve the revolutionary overthrow of the government of the United States. The group collapsed shortly after the U.

The first numerical weather prediction models used the quasi-geostrophic or Q-G approximation, which consists of using the geostrophic wind for the actual wind everywhere except when computing divergence. The Q-G approximation eliminates both sound and gravity waves as solutions to the equations of motion. The Q-G equations are often referred to as the filtered equations since they filter out sound and gravity waves. This allows a larger time step to be used, as well as eliminating the problem of balancing the initial conditions.  3, record 32, English, - filtered%20equation

L'utilisation des équations filtrées. Les premiers modèles numériques utilisés de façon opérationnelle reposaient sur l'approximation quasi géostrophique qui impose une relation diagnostique - c'est-à-dire indépendante du temps - entre le champ de pression et le champ de vent, ce qui diminue le nombre de degrés de liberté du modèle. Cette approximation a également pour effet de ne conserver comme solutions que les ondes lentes, dites ondes de Rossby, et de supprimer les ondes d'inertie-gravité à propagation rapide; elle permet ainsi d'utiliser un pas de temps relativement grand, compatible avec la condition CFL [condition de Courant, Friedrichs et Lewy]. En raison de l'effet de filtrage ainsi obtenu, les équations simplifiées ont pris le nom d'équations filtrées.

One or two strands of eat-gut, their tendency to twist varying with relative humidity, activate this device.  2, record 44, English, - home%20hygrometer
