The Southern Ocean, also known as the Great Southern Ocean, the Antarctic Ocean and the South Polar Ocean, comprises the southernmost waters of the World Ocean south of 60° S latitude. The International Hydrographic Organization has designated the Southern Ocean as an oceanic division encircling Antarctica. Geographers disagree on the Southern Ocean's northern boundary or even its existence, sometimes considering the waters part of the South Pacific, South Atlantic, and Indian Oceans instead. Some scientists consider the Antarctic Convergence, an ocean zone which fluctuates seasonally, as separating the Southern Ocean from other oceans, rather than 60° S. This ocean zone forms from the convergence of two circumpolar currents, one easterly flowing and one westerly flowing. The International Hydrographic Organization(IHO) regards the Southern Ocean as the fourth-largest of the five principal oceanic divisions and the latest-defined one. 3, record 10, English, - Antarctic%20Ocean

A flow approaching a mountain barrier will most likely go over the barrier rather than around it if the barrier is long, if the cross-barrier wind component is strong, and if the flow is unstable, near-neutral, or only weakly stable. These conditions are frequently met in the United States because the long, north-south oriented mountain ranges lie perpendicular to the prevailing westerly winds and the jet stream. Mountain barriers orientated perpendicular to the flow cause the highest accelerations across the barrier and frequently generate lee waves downwind of the obstacle as well as downslope windstorms. 1, record 20, English, - mountain%20barrier

Ne pas confondre «vent canalisé» et «vent de couloir». Ce sont deux types de vents différents, bien que le «vent de couloir» soit aussi canalisé. Un «vent canalisé» signifie tout simplement que le vent est dévié le long d'une vallée, couloir, gorge, etc., mais sans référence à la vélocité. Le vents souffle parallèlement à la vallée, c'est tout. Il peut aussi bien souffler vers une zone de haute pression qu'une zone de basse pression. Alors que les «vents de couloir» soufflent toujours de la haute pression vers la basse pression. [Commentaire d'une météorologue d'Environnement Canada.] 2, record 21, French, - vent%20canalis%C3%A9

L'adjectif «scalaire» se dit d'une grandeur qui peut être simplement rapportée à un nombre, qui renseignera complètement sur l'état de cette grandeur. P. ex. : une aire de 3 mètres carrés est caractérisée par le nombre 3, sa mesure en mètres carrés; une longueur de 2,5 centimètres est caractérisée par le nombre 2,5, qui est sa mesure en centimètres. En physique, une température, une masse sont des grandeurs scalaires. Ces grandeurs scalaires, qui sont pour ainsi dire indifférentes à la situation dans l'espace de l'objet mathématique qu'elles quantifient, c'est-à-dire indépendantes de toute notion d'orientation ou de direction, s'opposent ainsi aux grandeurs vectorielles, pour lesquelles ces notions interviennent : en physique, une force, une vitesse sont des grandeurs vectorielles, car elles ne sont pas caractérisables uniquement par leur mesure, mais aussi par leur direction. 2, record 35, French, - vitesse%20exprim%C3%A9e%20en%20grandeur%20scalaire

À la lumière de l'observation qui précède, on peut déduire qu'il est inapproprié de parler de «vélocité scalaire», puisqu'en principe une vitesse est une grandeur vectorielle et non scalaire. Nous pensons que dans la phrase anglaise «Sine-cosine transformation was used to convert wind speed and direction into southerly and westerly scalar velocities", il est simplement question d'exprimer la vitesse et la direction du vent (sud et ouest) à l'aide de grandeurs scalaires. Nous suggérons de traduire cette phrase par ce qui suit : On a utilisé une transformation en sinus et en cosinus pour exprimer en grandeurs scalaires la vitesse et la direction du vent (sud et ouest). 1, record 35, French, - vitesse%20exprim%C3%A9e%20en%20grandeur%20scalaire

A pool of cold air can also become ’detached’ at lower latitudes, i. e. away from the mid-latitude westerly zone, and drift slowly over relatively warmer seas,(e. g. the Mediterranean), and lead to intense convective development, often taking on marked cyclonic characteristics through the troposphere, and giving rise to locally severe conditions due to heavy rainfall, severe thunderstorms and squally winds. Remnants of these types of cold pool will sometimes drift polewards in summer and bring outbreaks of severe convective activity to mid-latitude regions, as these features will destabilise hot/humid air masses. 2, record 41, English, - cold%20air%20pool

Westerly jet stream of maximum intensity near the stratopause, in the middle and subpolar latitudes of the winter hemisphere, caused by prolonged radiative cooling of the air in high latitudes during this season. 1, record 42, English, - polar%20night%20jet
Record number: 42, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Polar-night jet stream. This jet meanders through the upper stratosphere over the poles. It occurs only during the long winter night. Remember, night is 6 months long over the pole in which winter is occurring. The polar stratosphere undergoes appreciable cooling due to the lack of solar radiation. The horizontal temperature gradient is strongly established between the equator and the pole, and the pressure gradient creates this westerly jet. The temperature gradient breaks down intermittently during middle and late winter in the Northern Hemisphere; therefore, the jet is intermittent at these times. In the Southern Hemisphere the temperature gradient and jet disappear rather abruptly near the time of the spring equinox. 3, record 42, English, - polar%20night%20jet

The prevailing winds in Sydney area are a combination of synoptic(pressure driven) flows and meso-scale(local) flows. The synoptic conditions are dominated by high pressure systems, moving air in a clockwise direction across Australia, from west to east, with an average period of six to seven days. In summer these high pressure systems are located to the south of Sydney, resulting in onshore synoptic winds. In winter these synoptic pressure systems shift north, following the movement of the sun to the northern hemisphere, resulting in westerly synoptic winds. The winter westerly winds have the greatest number of days when wind speeds exceed 40kph(Linacre, 1997). 1, record 52, English, - synoptic%20wind

Le vent synoptique. C'est le vent principal; quand ça souffle fort, c'est généralement lui. Le vent synoptique utilise le principe numéro 1 [l'air a tendance à se déplacer depuis les zones de hautes pressions (anticyclones) vers les zones de basses pressions]. Donc, quand la pression atmosphérique monte ou descend en un point, les masses d'air se déplacent. [...] De forte différences de pression entre un point et un autre entraînent des vents violents, car la nature tente de combler la dépression en piquant de l'air dans une zone anticyclonique. 3, record 52, French, - vent%20synoptique
