For those wind machines that have a circular cross section, the rotor diameter is determined by measuring from the center of rotation to the tip of the blade and multiplying by two. Rotor diameter is usually associated with horizontal axis machines, but the term also has meaning for the vertical axis machines.

RADARSAT-2, Canada's next generation earth observation satellite, is co-funded by the Canadian Space Agency(CSA) and MacDonald Dettwiler... The imaging sensor on the satellite is a C-band Synthetic Aperture Radar(SAR) capable of operating in a wide variety of imaging modes. All imaging modes of the current RADARSAT-1 satellite will be provided, as well as some new modes that incorporate important innovations and improvements. The horizontal co-polarization(HH) of RADARSAT-1 will be supplemented by options for vertical co-polarization(VV) and cross-polarization(HV or VH), and there will be new Quad-Polarization modes providing fully polarimetric data sets. The other major new mode is referred to as Ultra-Fine, providing swath imaging with resolution of about 3 m in each dimension. Re-visit times will be reduced since all imaging modes will be available either to the left or right sides of the satellite track. 3, record 9, English, - imaging%20sensor

Les systèmes embarqués à bord des satellites comportent de multiples instruments dont les fonctions sont variées. Toutefois, pour une mission donnée, les instruments de la charge utile ont des fonctions bien particulières. Il s'agit le plus souvent de capteurs qui ont pour vocation d'effectuer des mesures du rayonnement émis ou rémis par la Terre, l'atmosphère ou divers objets de l'Univers, ou bien de dispositifs de réception et de réémission de signaux, quand il s'agit de missions de télécommunications, par exemple. Deux grandes familles de capteurs sont identifiables : les capteurs non-imageurs et les capteurs-imageurs, ces derniers restituant sous forme d'images les observations effectuées dans un champ donné. Les principales caractéristiques d'un capteur-imageur sont : - le champ d'observation total (de quelques dizaines à quelques millions de km) [;] - la résolution spatiale (qui exprime son aptitude à distinguer les détails dans le champ total d'observation) [;] - les bandes spectrales (domaines de sensibilité spectrale des détecteurs et de leurs accessoires (filtres...] [;] - la résolution radiométrique (qui caractérise l'aptitude des détecteurs à distinguer des signaux porteurs de plus ou moins d'énergie). 4, record 9, French, - capteur%20imageur

Mesoscale circulations. In light wind conditions, the transport of air pollutants is often controlled by circulations of horizontal dimension ten to one hundred kilometers. Such mesoscale circulations are driven by local heating or cooling. They are most intense when skies are clear. 1, record 15, English, - mesoscale%20circulation

Meso-scale wind flows play an important part in the dispersion of pollutants. These flows(horizontal dimension of 10s of kilometers) include :(i) land and sea or lake breezes[;](ii) urban heat-island circulation[;](iii) slope and valley winds. Such flows are most noticeable when skies are clear and when the macro-scale flows(horizontal dimensions of 100s to 1 000s of kilometers) are weak. Characteristically, these meso-scale features have 24-hour cycles(diurnal variations), so that the daily mean vector wind is small and thus, pollution is moved back and forth across the region without much dilution. 1, record 16, English, - meso%2Dscale%20feature

Par définition, le terme anglais "rectangle" désigne une figure de 4 angles droits (cf. WEBIN, 1976 et WEBAB, 1984). Le terme "rectangular table" engloberait donc la table carrée (à 4 côtés égaux) et la table rectangulaire (plus longue que large).

The term "three-dimensional chart" implies that the third dimension represents a third variable as in the stereogram or volume chart.
