Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 OBS
In weather radar, the name is sometimes applied to horizontal scanning because the surface swept in space by the beam as the antenna rotates in azimuth with fixed elevation angle, is a cone. 2, record 3, English, - conical%20scanning

Le balayage est conique lorsque les directions d'observation au cours d'un balayage sont situées sur un cône. On obtient un balayage conique quand l'axe du miroir est vertical dans l'avion ou le satellite et qu'il est en plus perpendiculaire à l'axe optique du détecteur. [Le principal avantage de ce système de balayage] est que la distance entre le capteur et le terrain reste constante, [d'où les] dimensions constantes de la tache élémentaire au sol. Par contre, il génère des images à géométrie particulière parce que les systèmes de restitution et de traitement des images sont en général conçus pour les images obtenues par balayage linéaire. 3, record 3, French, - balayage%20conique

gound clutter :Radar echoes from tree, buildings, or other objects on the ground. Such echoes may be caused by the reflection of energy back to the radar in the main lobe or sidelobes of the antenna pattern and, in weather radar applications, interfere with the meteorological echoes at the same range. 4, record 4, English, - ground%20return

Le vélocimètre à laser sur son bâti de montage. Le modèle de série serait considérablement plus petit.
