A permanent thermocline exists beneath the stream sloping upward from the right to the left side of the current. This thermocline separates the warm water of the Gulf Stream from the cold slope water and the boundary is often referred to as the cold wall or north wall. The north wall makes it easy to identify the position of the Gulf Stream in satellite infrared images by observing the strong sea surface temperature gradient.  2, record 1, English, - cold%20wall

Electroanalysis based on the measurement at a working electrode of the rate of change in potential versus time; the current is controlled.  2, record 4, English, - chronopotentiometry

Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 OBS

A source of constant current is applied to the electrodes and the time required for the potential of the indicator electrode to transit from a predetermined value to a higher one is observed. A plate is made of the square root of transition time against titrant added. End-points are generally located by extrapolation at changes in slope in the titration curve.  3, record 4, English, - chronopotentiometry

[Les vases sur le talus continental], du fait de la pente, sont en équilibre plus ou moins stable et il arrive que par leur accumulation excessive ou à la suite d'un tremblement de terre (ou d'un autre phénomène) des décollements aient lieu. La vase est alors mise en suspension et il en résulte une augmentation de la densité des eaux; l'eau trouble migre, en conséquence, vers le bas : ce sont les «courants de turbidité» [...]  3, record 5, French, - courant%20de%20turbidit%C3%A9
