Les budgets d'erreur pour l'exactitude absolue viennent dans deux chiffres : une limite d'erreur, mesurée comme une distance (erreur circulaire) et un niveau de confiance (mesuré en pourcentage). Une interprétation est que les pourcentages de niveau de confiance des points sont transformés sur la distance d'erreur de la bonne réponse. L'exactitude relative ajoute une distance de limite, et peut être approximativement interprétée comme deux points dans la limite d'une des autres qui sont transformés de sorte que la distance les uns des autres soit changée par pas plus que l'erreur circulaire. 3, record 5, French, - %C3%A9cart%20circulaire

It is produced by the refraction of light through the 90° prisms of ice crystals, having entered through the horizontal bases and passed out through the vertical sides. Normally, the crystals are large, oriented, hexagonal plates. The circumzenithal arc is the high sky counterpart of the circumhorizontal arc. The circumhorizontal arc is low in the sky when the sun is high (above 58° elevation); the circumzenithal arc is high in the sky when the sun is low (below 32° elevation). The majority of circumzenithal arcs are short-lived, short in length and faint or moderately bright. However, very colorful circumhorizontal arcs can occur when the refraction is close to the minimum angle of deviation, corresponding to a solar elevation angle of about 22°. 3, record 8, English, - circumzenithal%20arc

L'arc circumzénithal est moins fréquent, car il n'apparaît que si la hauteur du soleil au-dessus de l'horizon est inférieure à 32,2 degrés. Cet arc est formé quand la lumière solaire entre dans le cristal par la face horizontale supérieure et en ressort par une face latérale verticale. Quand le soleil est au-dessus de 32,2 degrés, la lumière est entièrement réfléchie à l'intérieur du cristal; c'est pourquoi on ne voit cet arc que lorsque le Soleil est relativement bas sur l'horizon. À 32,2 degrés, la lumière ressort du cristal verticalement vers le bas; on verra alors l'arc circumzénithal comme un point éclatant au zénith. À mesure que le soleil descend (se couche), le point se déploie pour former un arc de cercle coloré et centré au zénith face au soleil. Pour être bien technique, lorsque le soleil est à 22,1 degrés, l'éclat de l'arc est à son maximum et il est tangent au grand halo. 3, record 8, French, - arc%20circumz%C3%A9nithal

The mirror nephoscope consists essentially of a horizontal disk of black glass engraved with concentric circles. A vertical pointer adjustable to various known heights is mounted on the rim of the instrument. The pointer is so placed by the observer that the image of the cloud under observation is in line with the pointer and the centre of the disk. The image is kept in line with the pointer as it moves, and the direction of motion is read off from a scale on the rim of the circle. Another type of mirror nephoscope has a mirror on which the only marking is a centre point. 5, record 10, English, - mirror%20nephoscope
