HFCs [Hydrofluorocarbons] are produced synthetically and are used primarily as refrigerants. They became widely used for this purpose beginning in the late 1980s, with the introduction of the Montreal Protocol, which phased out the use of chemicals such as halons and chlorofluorocarbons(CFCs) that contribute to the depletion of Earth's ozone layer. However, while HFCs have an ozone depletion potential of zero, they are potent greenhouse gases, and thus their manufacture and use became increasingly regulated in the 21st century. 8, record 1, English, - hydridofluoridocarbon

La disminución de la capa de ozono es causada entre otros factores, por las actividades humanas a través de las emisiones a la atmosfera de sustancias que contienen cloro y bromo, capaces de destruir las moléculas de ozono. La mayor parte de estos gases se acumulan primeramente en la troposfera, estos no reaccionan, ni se disuelven con facilidad en la lluvia o la nieve, luego son desplazados y ascienden a la estratosfera donde se convierten en gases reactivos que participan en las reacciones que destruyen las moléculas de ozono. 2, record 4, Spanish, - agotamiento%20de%20la%20capa%20de%20ozono

capa de ozono: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que la expresión capa de ozono, que alude a una zona de la atmósfera que filtra las radiaciones nocivas del Sol, se escribe íntegramente en minúscula. [...] Dado que se trata de un nombre descriptivo de una región de la atmósfera donde aumenta la concentración de ozono, no hay razón para escribirlo con mayúscula, como tampoco se hace con las denominaciones de otras capas como la ionosfera o la estratosfera. [...] Asimismo, ozono se escribe con minúscula inicial por tratarse de una sustancia química [...] 4, record 4, Spanish, - agotamiento%20de%20la%20capa%20de%20ozono

Simply stated, convergence is defined as the increase of mass within a given layer of the atmosphere, while divergence is the decrease of mass within a given layer of the atmosphere. ... Divergence. Winds in this situation produce a net flow of air outward from the layer. We associate this type of divergence with high-pressure cells, where the flow of air is directed outward from the center, causing a downward motion. Divergence, too, is classified as either horizontal or vertical. 3, record 10, English, - divergence

Le terme «taux» désigne une proportion dans laquelle intervient un élément, un facteur variable, une quantité de quelque chose par rapport à une quantité d'autre chose (par exemple, on parle d'un taux d'émission de CO2 de x nombre de grammes par kilomètre pour une voiture). Le terme «débit» se rapporte à la quantité d'un polluant émis dans l'atmosphère par unité de temps. Enfin, voir aussi «facteur d'émission». 2, record 17, French, - indice%20d%27%C3%A9mission
