Polar amplification refers to the potential for greater warming in polar regions compared to the rest of the globe due in part to strong positive feedbacks between ice cover and albedo decreases and air temperature increases in these regions causing additional warming. In the Arctic, amplification is already observed, while for the Antarctic, amplification does not seem to be in effect yet due to the presence of dampening processes. 2, record 1, English, - polar%20amplification

[The gap is] formed when the water temperature in the clouds is below freezing but the water has not frozen yet due to the lack of ice nucleation particles... When ice crystals do form, it will set off a domino effect, due to the Bergeron process, causing the water droplets around the crystals to evaporate : this leaves a large, often circular, hole in the cloud. 5, record 2, English, - fallstreak%20hole%20cloud

Trou de virga. Un nuage à une altitude où la température est bien sous le point de congélation est souvent formé d'un mélange de cristaux de glace et de gouttelettes en surfusion, tel les altocumulus ou les cirrocumulus. Les gouttelettes ne peuvent souvent se changer en cristaux par manque de noyaux glacigènes si elles sont éloignées des cristaux de glace du nuage. Un apport de ces noyaux causera la congélation immédiate des gouttes qu'ils touchent et l'absorption rapide des autres gouttes environnantes par effet Bergeron. Ceci diminue donc la densité du nuage qui semble s'évanouir autour de la zone affectée. 2, record 2, French, - trou%20de%20virga

Pressure within an ice field can also be caused by tides. Tidal pressure is usually of short duration, lasting from one to three hours and, although less heavy than pressure from winds of longer duration, it can at times bring shipping operations to a halt.

There are several front point configurations available on crampons. Double horizontal front points are the traditional style used for steep snow and ice climbing. Different manufacturers offer this type of crampon in a variety of point lengths. Double vertical front points are shaped like two miniature ice axe picks. They work very well on vertical water ice. Mono point crampons have one point that protrudes far out of the front and is backed up by two points that are shorter. The effect is a tripod arrangement which is good for a variety of conditions and works especially well for mixed climbing. 1, record 16, English, - front%20point
