Originally described in the diaries of the missionary Hans Egede Saabye as a see-saw in temperature between Greenland and Denmark(Saabye, 1942), the NAO was later defined by Sir Gilbert Walker as "the tendency for pressure to be low near Iceland in winter when it is high near the Azores and south-west Europe"(Walker, 1924; Walker and Bliss, 1932). Accounting for more than 1/3 of the total variance of the sea level pressure(SLP) field over the North Atlantic, the NAO is most pronounced during the winter months(December through March) due to an increased sea air temperature contrast(Barnston and Livezey, 1987).  4, record 1, English, - North%20Atlantic%20oscillation

L'intensité de la circulation atmosphérique à grande échelle est liée à la différence de la pression atmosphérique nord-sud sur l'Atlantique Nord, variable appelée «indice de l'oscillation nord-atlantique». Lorsque l'indice est élevé, les vents du nord-ouest au-dessus du Labrador sont plus puissants, l'air et la mer, plus froids, et les glaces, plus abondantes. Lorsque l'indice est bas, les vents du nord-ouest sont faibles, les températures de l'air sont relativement élevées, la mer est plus chaude que la normale, et la couverture de glace est réduite.  1, record 1, French, - oscillation%20nord%2Datlantique

U-VALUE. The overall heat transfer coefficient or thermal conductance of a building wall, floor, ceiling, roof, or other element; of piping or tubing carrying heating or cooling fluids; or of heat transfer equipment. The U-value is normally applied to a cross-section of more than one material and considers the film conductance and air.

If the aircraft is effectively stationary, the probe will measure the static air temperature T... due to the average thermal motion of the air molecules hitting it.

In a "shirt sleeve" environment one must utilize a breathing mixture which is fire safe and provides hypoxia and DCS [Decompression Sickness] protection. Argon is an inert gas with properties similar to nitrogen. It is relatively inexpensive and available. In terms of fire protection, a 38% oxygen and 62% argon mixture at 7.34 psia will provide an equivalent burn rate of paper strips as sea level air. In terms of hypoxia prevention, this mixture, at this pressure, is the equivalent of breathing air at an altitude of 2,728 feet.  3, record 7, English, - in%20shirt%2Dsleeve%20environment
