In one of the larger and more Complex operations ever supported in the Arctic by the National Science Foundation(NSF), an ice breaker was frozen into the perennial pack ice and left to drift for a full year. From October, 1997 to October 1998, the ship served as a floating scientific research station, supporting the Surface Heat Budget of the Arctic Ocean(SHEBA) project. The mission was to acquire data on the great canopy of pack ice, about the size of the United States, that covers the surface of the Arctic Ocean. Researchers at the ice station studied the atmosphere, ocean, sea ice and snow cover, to determine how these media interact through the surface heat budget, and how the interactions affect climate. 1, record 3, English, - SHEBA

Flux de chaleur latente : On appelle chaleur latente l'énergie échangée lors d'un changement de phase d'un corps pur. Dans le système climatique, il s'agit toujours des changements d'états de l'eau. Il faut distinguer les 2 étapes suivantes : Évaporation à la surface des océans. Ce processus refroidit la surface océaniques et introduit de la vapeur d'eau dans l'atmosphère. Condensation dans les nuages. Lors de la convection, la pression partielle de la vapeur d'eau atteint progressivement la valeur de la pression de vapeur saturante. Il y a alors condensation en eau liquide et libération de chaleur qui réchauffe l'atmosphère. Le flux de chaleur latente entre la surface et l'atmosphère est donc associé à la quantité de vapeur d'eau introduite dans l'atmosphère. La chaleur ne sera libérée qu'ultérieurement lors de la condensation. D'où l'appellation de chaleur latente (qui se manifeste plus tard). 1, record 6, French, - flux%20de%20chaleur%20latente

Les flux énergétiques (en watts par mètre carré, moyennés sur le globe) et leurs transformations. Il faut aussi tenir compte des flux non radiatifs d'énergie. Le flux de chaleur latente (LE = 85 Wm-2 de la surface vers l'atmosphère) correspond à l'évaporation E de l'eau à la surface du globe, et sa condensation dans l'atmosphère (essentiellement dans les nuages). Exprimé en termes énergétiques, ce flux est bien plus faible que les flux de rayonnement, mais l'eau de l'atmosphère joue un rôle central, à la fois pour l'effet parasol (de par les nuages) et pour l'effet de serre; et aussi, bien sûr, pour les précipitations (P=E). 2, record 6, French, - flux%20de%20chaleur%20latente

Lors d'éruptions [volcaniques] majeures, les cendres injectées dans l'atmosphère, ainsi que les aérosols formés, induisent des perturbations climatiques majeures susceptibles d'affecter l'ensemble de la planète. En effet, cendres et aérosols absorbent les radiations solaires et les réfléchissent dans l'espace, ce qui provoque un déficit d'énergie reçue par la Terre. La température globale moyenne peut alors chuter de quelques dixièmes de degrés, voire de quelques degrés en cas d'éruptions très violentes. 2, record 9, French, - d%C3%A9ficit%20d%27%C3%A9nergie%20interne

[...] les échanges de chaleur entre océan et atmosphère se font en grande partie sous forme de transfert de chaleur latente, lorsque l'eau de l'océan s'évapore, puis se condense dans l'atmosphère. [...] Ces transferts affectent d'une part l'océan [...] Ils affectent aussi l'atmosphère, puisque la condensation de la vapeur d'eau est une source d'énergie interne de l'atmosphère, et que la vapeur d'eau comme les nuages produisent un effet de serre, et modifient les transferts de rayonnement dans l'atmosphère. 3, record 9, French, - d%C3%A9ficit%20d%27%C3%A9nergie%20interne

Methods of measuring evapotranspiration generally are divided into two categories : water budgeting and energy budgeting. The former method relies on accurate accounting of water flow into and out of a control area.... Energy budget methods rely on an accurate accounting of energy to and from the land surface and generally assume one-dimensional energy flow. Because the energy needed to evaporate water is relatively large(about 580 calories per gram), ET, or latent heat, can represent a significant component of the energy budget. Net radiation is the difference between incoming shortwave(solar) radiation and outgoing shortwave and longwave radiation, sensible heat is the energy transported from the land surface by air movement(convection), latent heat is the energy transported away from the surface by evaporating water, and soil/water heat is the heat that goes into changing the temperature of the soil or the water standing on the land surface. Any of these components may reverse in direction-for example, latent heat is added to the surface by condensation(dew formation), and net radiation is directed upward at night. 1, record 10, English, - energy%20budget%20method

L'abondance de matières organiques non dégradées sur les sédiments des lacs acides est associée à une baisse (ou arrêt) d'activité des micro-organismes et, par conséquent, implique une diminution de la remise en circulation des éléments nutritifs.
