In ice dynamics "dilation" is a term associated with an opening process, where crust on either side us moved apart and new surface is created between them. Dilational areas, where cracks open wide – are called dilational "bands. "These features are a common occurrence on the icy surface of Europa. 1, record 1, English, - dilational%20band

Climate models use quantitative methods to simulate the interactions of the atmosphere, oceans, land surface, and ice. They are used for a variety of purposes from study of the dynamics of the weather and climate system to projections of future climate. The most talked-about models of recent years have been those relating air temperature to emissions of carbon dioxide... These models predict an upward trend in the surface temperature record, as well as a more rapid increase in temperature at higher altitudes. 3, record 2, English, - climate%20model

Scientists have been attempting to model how changes in the levels of greenhouse gases are going to impact on the earth’s climate over the next century. Current climate models do simulate recent climate change remarkably accurately. However, such models are sensitive to large numbers of parameters and the effects of small perturbations on them is not well understood. 4, record 2, English, - climate%20model

Un modèle climatique est un programme informatique conçu pour reproduire le comportement du climat terrestre. Il sert à reconstituer le climat passé ou à étudier son évolution future. Les lois régissant le comportement de l'atmosphère, du sol, des océans, du soleil, et leurs interactions y sont traduites en langage informatique. On obtient au final une description chiffrée des phénomènes climatiques. 3, record 2, French, - mod%C3%A8le%20climatique

Le développement récent d'ordinateurs très puissants a rendu possibles l'étude et même la prévision de l'évolution générale du climat mondial à l'aide de modèles numériques de simulation de l'atmosphère. Ainsi, un modèle climatique se présente comme une adaptation spécifique d'un modèle numérique de prévision météorologique : il n'a plus pour but la prévision opérationnelle à court terme ou moyen terme, mais l'étude des facteurs susceptibles d'influer sur le comportement du climat et, consécutivement, la simulation des changements de ce dernier sur des périodes pouvant aller de plusieurs mois à plusieurs décennies. De cette manière peuvent être abordés, entre autres, des processus environnementaux de dimension planétaire tels que les variations de l'oscillation australe, l'accroissement de l'effet de serre ou l'évolution du trou d'ozone stratosphérique. 4, record 2, French, - mod%C3%A8le%20climatique

Para poder simular el clima, es necesario calcular los efectos de todos los principales procesos que inciden en el sistema climático. […] Aunque nuestros conocimientos de estos procesos puedan representarse en términos matemáticos, la complejidad del sistema significa que, en la práctica, estos efectos solo puedencalcularse con computadoras. Por lo tanto, la formulación matemática se realiza mediante un programa informático que se denomina modelo climático. 1, record 2, Spanish, - modelo%20clim%C3%A1tico

Images of phase differences between two SAR images acquired from two repeated SAR coverages are called repeat-pass interferograms. The technique used with these data to generate digital elevation models(DEMs), deformation maps, and temporal change maps is called repeat-pass interferometry and was first demonstrated by Zebker and Goldstein at JPL. In this workshop, an introduction to interferometry will be given with the goal of giving the participants a basic understanding of the technique and the tools required to obtain good results. This will be followed by an overview of some of the recent results obtained by scientists working with RADARSAT, ERS-1/2, and JERS-1 SAR data sets. Finally, a summary of emerging applications will be given. Applications include : DEM Mapping, Earthquake Monitoring, Volcano Deformation Monitoring, Ice Dynamics, Land Subsidence Measurement and Land Surface Change Detection.

Des images de différences de phase entre deux images RSO acquises lors de deux couvertures RSO distinctes sont appelées interférogrammes sur passages répétés. La méthode appliquée à ces données pour générer des modèles numériques d'altitude (MNA), des cartes de déformation et des cartes du changement en fonction du temps est appelée interférométrie sur passages répétés et ce sont Zebker et Goldstein au JPL qui en ont pour la première fois fait la démonstration. Dans le cadre du présent atelier, on présentera une introduction à l'interférométrie dans le but de fournir aux participants une compréhension de base de la méthode et des outils nécessaires à l'obtention de bons résultats. Suivra un aperçu de certains résultats récents obtenus par des scientifiques travaillant avec des ensembles de données RSO des RADARSAT,ERS-1/2 et JERS-1. On fournira enfin un résumé des applications nouvelles dont : la cartographie sur MNA, la surveillance des séismes, la surveillance de la déformation des volcans, la dynamique des glaces, la mesure de la subsidence des terres et la détection des changements à la surface des étendues de terres.
