DEF

A vertical section of the soil showing all the horizons extending down into the parent material.

CONT

Morphologically, soils are composed of a series of horizons. Soil horizons are layers of different appearance, thickness, and properties which have arisen by the action of various soil-forming processes. The horizons are normally parallel to the surface. Collectively, the horizons make up what is called the soil profile or soil "pedon".

Cupping is one of the coffee tasting techniques used by cuppers to evaluate coffee aroma and the flavor profile of a coffee.... In a coffee cupping session, the table is usually set up with 6 to 10 cups per coffee. These are fashioned in a triangular manner. At the top of this triangle you should place a sample of the roasted coffee and a sample of the green coffee. In the center of the table place a cup of room temperature water and an empty cup containing the cupping spoons. Cover both the green sample and roasted sample until the cupping session is over and the coffee aroma, fragrance, and flavor profile have been documented. After this time, the coffee samples could be uncovered and additional comments can be written based on appearance. This method will help reduce the common "eye cupping" technique.

Domaine(s)
  • Boissons (Industrie de l'alimentation)

[...] le cupping désigne la dégustation de café. Il s’agit d’une technique utilisée par les professionnels du café pour déterminer les caractéristiques d’un café spécifique, pour déceler des défauts et pour composer de nouveaux mélanges.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Atmospheric Physics
DEF

A series of temperature measurements taken at various levels in the atmosphere that show the thermal structure of the atmosphere over a specific location.

CONT

The type of precipitation that will fall from clouds in any given storm is largely dependent on what is called the vertical temperature profile. A vertical temperature profile is a series of temperature measurements taken at various levels of the troposphere. Meteorologists send up weather balloons twice each day to detect the air temperatures at different elevations in the troposphere. During the winter months, access to temperature data reported back from weather balloons helps meteorologists to more accurately forecast what type of precipitation is on the way. Temperature profiles, however, can change completely due to many factors in the troposphere.

OBS

vertical temperature profile: Obtained through a rawinsonde sounding or comparable method, and exhibited in a skew t-log p diagram.

Key term(s)

Domaine(s)
  • Physique de l'atmosphère
DEF

CONT

Depuis 1960, les satellites météorologiques apportent une vision globale et planétaire de l'état de l'atmosphère. Les satellites en orbite polaire (passant à peu près par l'axe des pôles) survolent la totalité de la Terre deux fois par jour. Ils fournissent une image des masses nuageuses et de leur évolution, ainsi qu'une multitude de données relatives à la température de surface des océans, à la quantité d'ozone atmosphérique, à l'humidité des sols, à la surface couverte par les glaces marines et continentales dans les hautes latitudes. Ils enregistrent des informations sur l'état de l'atmosphère, en particulier le profil vertical de la température à partir duquel on peut, par exemple, déduire la distribution de la vapeur d'eau.

Akebono satellite launched in Feb., 1989 has been used to observe the Omega signals. It was found that the Omega signals were continuously detected over more than 30 minutes and their time delay and wave normal direction can be determined. Then an idea came up that by using these wave data as well as the electron density along the satellite orbit, a global plasmaspheric electron density profile may be determined by a tomographic approach, i. e. by using ray tracing technique.

CONT

The U. S. SLCM [sea-launched cruise missile] under development is sized for launch from standard submarine torpedo tubes... The SLCM is to be developed in both strategic and tactical variants, the former being able to carry a nuclear warhead about 1500 nm. The latter will be designed to be launched from surface ships as well as submarines, primarily as a non-nuclear anti-ship missile with a range of up to several hundred miles. The SLCM will have a low cruise altitude flight profile and will have a high accuracy. The Soviet Union currently has SLCMs of a shorter range deployed on both nuclear-and diesel-powered submarines and surface ships.

A power audit enables a comprehensive load profile to be determined. It will not only reveal active and apparent power but also distortion power due to harmonics, since modern IT equipment demands a complex current wave form... Power audits can show up some interesting results. Cost benefit analysis is one-in some cases, it is actually cheaper to scrap the old UPS infrastructure and replace it with a much smaller, more compact and energy efficient system.
