réduction au niveau de la mer [...] C'est principalement sur la pression et la température que l'on opère de tels ajustements. [...] Réduction de la température. Lorsque l'on veut disposer d'un champ des températures au niveau moyen de la mer on ajoute à la température mesurée sous abri, à la station d'observation concernée, une correction proportionnelle à l'altitude, en adoptant un gradient vertical moyen régional déduit des séries de mesures à différents niveaux dont on peut disposer. 1, record 1, French, - r%C3%A9duction%20de%20la%20temp%C3%A9rature
