Record 3 2012-06-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Oceanography
  • Atmospheric, Climatic and Meteorological Phenomena
DEF

[Ocean surface gravity] waves raised by the wind blowing in the immediate neighbourhood of an observation site at the time of observation.

CONT

... wind sea [is] that part of the wave spectrum that is under direct influence of the wind. ... Those waves that are not under the direct influence of the wind are called swell. Wind sea is usually found in the areas of large wind, such as the storm tracks.

CONT

From small wavelets to high seas (seas 12 feet or greater), wind waves are the result of the energy of the wind being imparted to the sea. ... The height attained by wind waves depends on wind speed, the time the wind blows in one direction (duration), and the length of the fetch (the area over which the wind is blowing).

CONT

Wind waves ... are caused by wind in the immediate vicinity and they have a period of ~ <7 seconds. Most sea surface waves are wind generated.

CONT

Wind waves, or waves created by local wind conditions, are irregular and choppy in appearance, are nearly unstable in deep water, and they "break" shortly after they enter the surf zone.

OBS

wind sea: ... includes storm waves.

OBS

Wind generates both gravity waves and capillary waves.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Océanographie
  • Phénomènes météorologiques, climatiques et atmosphériques
DEF

Vagues provoquées par le vent dans le voisinage immédiat d'un point d'observation à l'heure de l'observation.

CONT

Contrairement à la houle qui peut venir de loin, la mer de vent est le résultat local (en temps et en lieu) de l'effet du vent soufflant sur le plan d'eau.

CONT

Si le vent souffle au-dessus d'une région donnée de l'océan, il lui cède une énergie qui bientôt soulève et abaisse en alternance chaque point de sa surface : une telle région, où des vagues sont ainsi engendrées par le vent local, est alors appelée la mer du vent. La force et la direction du vent prennent au même instant des valeurs variables d'un point à l'autre de la mer du vent, et ces valeurs fluctuent d'un instant à l'autre en un même point : de ce fait, les vagues de la mer du vent présentent un aspect turbulent, souvent qualifié de «haché» ou de «chaotique».

OBS

La mer du vent a toujours un aspect plus chaotique que la houle.

OBS

Dans les sources consultées, la «mer du vent» semble désigner à la fois la «région où les vagues sont générées par le vent» et «les vagues générées par le vent». Dans le Petit Robert, au figuré, «mer» signifie une «grande quantité [...]», par exemple, une mer de mots.

Spanish

Record 4 2002-04-11

English

Subject field(s)
  • Continuous Handling
  • Materials Storage
  • Packaging
CONT

Bottle Paneling. Sometimes packaging can contract or collapse during shipping or storage, creating an unsightly appearance called paneling. Paneling can also result in leaking if a container is tipped or falls over. With a vented closure, sterile air is allowed to enter and the container maintains its original shape, while holding liquids inside.

CONT

The FAA 5418 with new neck support system. Eliminates bottle paneling of light-weight PET bottles and supports a bottle by the neck ring during filling, relieving pressure that causes the bottle to dent or deform while filling.

PHR

Bottle paneling or panelling.
