Tropical cyclone [is a] cyclone of tropical origin of small diameter(some hundreds of kilometres) with minimum surface pressure in some cases less than 900 hPa, very violent winds and torrential rain; sometimes accompanied by thunderstorms. It usually contains a central region, known as the "eye" of the storm, with a diameter of the order of some tens of kilometres, and with light winds and more or less lightly clouded sky. 5, record 1, English, - tropical%20cyclone

Tropical cyclones are experienced in several areas of the world. In general, they form over the tropical oceans (except the South Atlantic and the eastern South Pacific) and affect the eastern and equatorward portions of the continents. They occur in the tropical North Atlantic (including the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico), the North Pacific off the west coast of Mexico and occasionally as far west as Hawaii, the western North Pacific (including the Philippine Islands and the China Sea), the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea, the southern Indian Ocean off the coasts of Madagascar and the northwest coast of Australia, and the South Pacific Ocean from the east coast of Australia to about 140°W. 6, record 1, English, - tropical%20cyclone

By international agreement, tropical cyclones have been classified according to their intensity as follows: 1) tropical depression, with winds up to 17 m s-1(34 knots); 2) tropical storm, with winds of 18-32 m s-1(35-64 knots); and 3) severe tropical cyclone, hurricane or typhoon, with winds of 33 m-1(65 knots) or higher. It should be noted that the wind speeds referred to above are 10-min average wind speeds at standard anemometer level (10 m), except that in the United States, 1-min average wind speeds are used. 6, record 1, English, - tropical%20cyclone

Toujours associés à une profonde dépression, les cyclones tropicaux sont accompagnés de vents violents dépassant généralement 100 kilomètres à l'heure et de pluies diluviennes pouvant dépasser 300 millimètres en 24 heures. La zone couverte par un tel phénomène est quasi circulaire avec un diamètre de quelques centaines de kilomètres à un millier de kilomètres et les masses nuageuses très épaisses qui l'accompagnent atteignent la tropopause, soit à ces latitudes, une quinzaine de kilomètres d'altitude. Les vents violents engendrent dans la zone affectée par le cyclone une mer démontée tandis que se développe, jusqu'à des milliers de kilomètres du centre, une houle caractéristique constituant souvent un signe précurseur de l'approche du phénomène. Autres signes, la chute brutale de la pression, parfois plusieurs dizaines d'hectopascals par heure et l'apparition de nuages caractéristiques. 5, record 1, French, - cyclone%20tropical

Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT
The first sign of hurricane genesis(development) is the appearance of a cluster of thunderstorms over the tropical oceans, called a tropical disturbance. Tropical disturbances most commonly form in one of three different ways, all of which involve the convergence of surface winds. Near the equator, the easterly trade winds converge(come together) to trigger numerous thunderstorms in a region called the Intertropical Convergence Zone(ITCZ). Occasionally, a cluster of thunderstorms will break away from the ITCZ and become better organized. Another mechanism is the convergence of air that occurs along a mid-latitude frontal boundary that has made its way into the Gulf of Mexico or off the East Coast of Florida. The last mechanism is the easterly wave, a tropical disturbance that travels from east to west in the region of the tropical easterlies. Converging winds on the east side of the easterly wave trigger the development of thunderstorms. In fact, most Atlantic hurricanes can be traced to easterly waves that form over Western Africa. 3, record 2, English, - tropical%20disturbance

Les alizés se manifestent, en direction de l'équateur, à partir des hautes pressions subtropicales qui jalonnent le 30e parallèle sur les deux hémisphères : alizés boréaux, de direction N.-E - S.-O., et alizés austraux, S.-E. - N.-O. Le contact des alizés boréaux et austraux aboutit à l'ascendance dynamique, favorisée par l'instabilité de l'air chaud et humide, et constitue la convergence intertropicale. 1, record 18, French, - aliz%C3%A9%20austral

Record number: 19, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Temperate forests occur within the temperate, non-tropical zone. Temperate forests occur north of the Tropic of Cancer and south of the Tropic of Capricorn. Temperate forests usually have fairly distributed rainfall and moderate temperatures, in contrast to tropical forests which generally experience extremes in rainfall and high temperature.... There are a number of different types of temperate forest. These include :(i) the largely coniferous boreal forests which flourish in the far north containing species such as cypress, cork oak, and stone pine, which grow on the shores and islands of the Mediterranean; and(iii) austral forests, which grow in New Zealand, Southern Australia, South Africa, and the Patagonia region of South America. 3, record 19, English, - temperate%20forest
