On the A330-200 "Sleeper" aircraft, there are only eight seats in a 1-2-1 configuration(A-E, F-K). They have an 80-inch pitch, a 180-degree recline and are 25-inches wide. Known as the Class 180 seat(because it reclines fully flat, or 180 degrees), the seat transforms into a full-size bed covered with fitted cotton sheets, over-size pillows and duvets. Passengers are also offered pyjamas and there are changing room facilities and a suit pack to store your day clothes. 1, record 2, English, - sleeper%20aircraft

The diurnal variation of the tropospheric temperature on one day in August 1998 at the tropical station Gadanki(13. 5° N, 79. 2° E) has been studied using the MST radar technique. The diurnal variation of the temperature revealed a prominent diurnal variation with the peak in the afternoon hours increasingly delayed in altitude. The tropopause temperature and altitude exhibited a clear diurnal cycle. 1, record 3, English, - tropospheric%20temperature

Normalement, les stations canadiennes constatent que l'ozone atteint son épaisseur maximale en mars (moyenne tenant compte de facteurs climatologiques), après quoi elle s'appauvrit tout au long du printemps et de l'été, pour atteindre son niveau le plus bas en octobre. Ce cycle est attribuable à des phénomènes atmosphériques à grande échelle. On enregistre également des variations locales bien plus rapides au cours d'une même journée, à la suite de changements dans les variables météorologiques, comme le vent, les configurations de pression, les températures troposphériques et stratosphériques ainsi que la hauteur de la tropopause. 3, record 3, French, - temp%C3%A9rature%20troposph%C3%A9rique

The D layer is the closest layer to the Earth’s surface, and also forms only during daylight hours. This layer is a layer which instead of refracting signals to Earth, absorbs them. The D layer absorbs high frequency and medium frequency radio signals. In fact, sometimes, D layer absorption can grow so great that all radio communications by way of the ionosphere are wiped out for a short period. 6, record 7, English, - D%20layer

Lors d'une activité solaire intense, certaines transmissions radio sont tellement perturbées qu'elles entraînent parfois un véritable «black-out» des communications. Dans le cas d'une éruption solaire, c'est la brusque augmentation de la concentration électronique dans la couche D qui provoque une atténuation tellement forte de l'intensité des ondes radio de courte longueur d'onde (10 à 100 m), que la réception de celles-ci devient inaudible. Par contre, les ondes de grandes longueurs d'onde sont réfléchies à un niveau plus bas de la couche D. 4, record 7, French, - couche%20D
