Box nets can be fished at any time in the daily tide cycle and with any frequency. [The fishing] procedure is as follows. The tie-back ropes on one end of the net are slackened; then, this end of the net is gradually hauled onto the ice through the fishing hole. As the net is hauled, fish are "shook back" from the trap into the bunt. The bunt is untied and the fish removed; the bunt is then retied. The tie-back ropes are tightened, hauling the net back into position beneath the ice. Tie-back ropes are secured. 3, record 3, English, - box%20net

A kame is a deposit, composed largely of material sorted by moving water in the glacial stream and is formed when in direct contact with glacier ice.

[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 6, 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 6, French, - trou%20de%20virga

Dépression escarpée de formes diverses à la surface des dépôts glaciaires. Les kettles résultent de la fonte de culots de glace enfouis dans les sédiments glaciaires. La fonte de la glace entraîne l'affaissement des sédiments sus-jacents, et par conséquent une dépression. Les kettles sont souvent occupés par un lac ou un marais. 2, record 16, French, - kettle

La surface des dépôts fluvio-glaciaires est souvent trouée de dépressions de formes diverses. Ces cuvettes nommées kettles résultent de la fonte tardive de culots de glace partiellement ou totalement enfouis dans les sédiments. La fonte de la glace entraîne l'affaissement des sédiments sus-jacents, et une dépression apparaît. Au fur et à mesure qu'ils s'effondrent, les matériaux se déforment et des failles se développent. 3, record 16, French, - kettle

The airline's first tests were to determine the practicability of detecting water ingress in honeycomb structure.... Different materials stabilise in temperature at different rates, and a considerable thermal difference results between water and composite. In initial tests with pieces of ice embedded in honeycomb panels, the airline found that it could detect 2 cm³ of water in a hole of 25 mm diameter from a distance of 3 mm, 90 min after the panels had been exposed to 36°C below ambient temperature. 1, record 18, English, - honeycomb%20panel
