Color enhancement is a procedure where specified levels of energy—in this example, infrared energy—are given a specific colour. This makes locations with the desired energies easier to locate. In this example, shades of yellow and orange represent infrared energy emissions consistent with strong thunderstorms. This is because infrared energy is proportional to brightness temperature, and the highest cloud tops are colder than those at lower altitudes(the highest cloud tops are typically associated with the strongest thunderstorms). 1, record 1, English, - false%2Dcolour%20enhancement

L'affichage en fausses couleurs consiste à attribuer des couleurs fictives aux bandes spectrales. L'image résultante est dite «composition colorée» [(ou plus précisément, «composition en fausses couleurs»)] et se compose de trois plans de couleur rouge, vert et bleu (RGB). Par convention, on attribue la couleur rouge à la bande spectrale proche infrarouge, la couleur verte à la bande rouge et la couleur bleue à la bande verte. 1, record 1, French, - affichage%20en%20fausses%20couleurs

Oxidasic casse. Caused by an enzyme(polyphenolozidase), it makes wine cloud upon exposure to air and change colour-red wines turning brown and white yellow, and, after a time, forming a deposit. It is often present in wines made from slightly overripe or mouldy grapes. 2, record 2, English, - oxidasic%20casse

La casse oxydasique se rencontre sur les moûts ou sur les vins nouveaux, sur lesquels on voit apparaître, au contact plus ou moins prolongé avec l'air, un brunissement qui part de la surface et s'étend intensément et rapidement à tout le liquide. [...] La cause de l'altération est une combinaison rapide, par suite de l'action d'une enzyme, la polyphénoloxydase, de l'oxygène de l'air avec divers composés, en particulier les composés phénoliques [...] 3, record 2, French, - casse%20oxydasique
