Although they look similar when plotted on a weather chart, there is a distinct difference between isobars and isohypses. An isobar connects points of equal barometric pressure normalized to sea level while an isohypse connects points of equal geopotential height. Isohypses are also called height contours.  3, record 1, English, - isohypse

Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 CONT

Geopotential height approximates the actual height of a pressure surface above mean sea-level. Therefore, a geopotential height observation represents the height of the pressure surface on which the observation was taken. A line drawn on a weather map connecting points of equal height(in meters) is called a height contour.  4, record 1, English, - isohypse

Snow snake is played on a track. Snow is piled up at the beginning of the track to a height of about 4 feet. Then the track gradually slopes downward to follow the contour of the earth. A log is then placed on top of the snow pile to make a track that the shooters must throw their snakes in. The community who has the best throws, wins. The best throwers win prizes but more importantly, bragging rights until the next event.  1, record 2, English, - snow%20snake

Le serpent à neige est un jeu d’hiver traditionnel chez les Autochtones des régions boisées de l’Est. Le jeu consiste à lancer aussi loin que possible un bâton préparé à cette fin dans un couloir de neige. Chaque concurrent a trois essais et le gagnant est celui qui lance le serpent le plus loin.  1, record 2, French, - serpent%20%C3%A0%20neige

A system which provides the pilot, or autopilot, of an aircraft with climb or dive signals such that the aircraft will maintain a selected height over flat ground and clear the peaks of undulating ground within the selected height in a vertical plane through the flight vector. This system differs from terrain following in that the aircraft need not descend into a valley to follow the ground contour.  1, record 6, English, - terrain%20clearance%20system
