Silas McDowell (1795-1879) was a southern pomologist and a botanist of renown ... during the 1850s. ... He was the originator of the "thermal belt" concept which is a zone on a mountainside where frost and freezes are less common than in the valleys and on the mountaintops. 4, record 14, English, - frostless%20zone
Record number: 14, Textual support number: 1 OBS
The air flowing down the slopes is warmed by mixing with the air above ground level and to some extent also by adiabatic compression. The frostless zone is not a fixed belt but varies in level from night to night and season to season according to the initial temperature, the length of the night, and the clearness of the sky. Its lower limit is sometimes clearly marked by the upper limit of frost damage to crops, following the hillsides at a small angle to the horizontal. 3, record 14, English, - frostless%20zone

Record number: 15, Textual support number: 1 CONT
A valley breeze develops during the day as the sun heats the land surface and air at the valley bottom and sides... As the air heats it becomes less dense and buoyant and begins to flow gently up the valley sides. Vertical ascent of the air rising along the sides of the mountain is usually limited by the presence of a temperature inversion layer. When the ascending air currents encounter the inversion they are forced to move horizontally and then back down to the valley floor. This creates a self-contained circulation system. If conditions are right, the rising air can condense and form into cumuliform clouds. 3, record 15, English, - valley%20breeze

mountain breeze ... As the slopes become colder than the surrounding atmosphere, the lower levels of air cool and drain to the lowest point of the terrain.

During the night, the air along the mountain slopes begins to cool quickly because of longwave radiation loss... As the air cools, it becomes more dense and begins to flow downslope causing a mountain breeze. Convergence of the draining air occurs at the valley floor and forces the air to move vertically upward. The upward movement is usually limited by the presence of a temperature inversion which forces the air to begin moving horizontally. This horizontal movement completes the circulation cell system. In narrowing terrain, mountain winds can accelerate in speed because of the venturi effect. Such winds can attain speeds as high has 150 kilometers per hour. 4, record 16, English, - mountain%20breeze

D'autres méthodes de construction ont été développées en Allemagne : la construction travée par travée sur cintre autolanceur et la mise en place par poussage. La première méthode fait appel à un cintre outil métallique extrêmement lourd (de 200 à 600 t selon la portée de l'ouvrage et la largeur du tablier), qui peut être lancé vers l'avant en ne s'appuyant que sur la partie déjà réalisée de l'ouvrage et sur ses appuis définitifs; une fois en place, le cintre est capable de supporter le poids de la travée à construire (pont de Bremeke et, en France, viaducs de l'autoroute Roquebrune-Menton en 1970; viaducs d'accès au pont de Martigues sur la passe de Caronte en 1974). Le coût des cintres autolanceurs a conduit au développement de la technique du poussage par Fritz Leonhardt (pont sur le río Caroni au Venezuela en 1964) : l'ouvrage est bétonné au sol en arrière d'une des culées, par tronçons successifs, et il est poussé vers l'avant dans son ensemble à l'aide de vérins, par étapes successives correspondant aux phases de bétonnage, après la construction d'un tronçon ou l'achèvement d'une travée. 4, record 18, French, - cintre%20autolanceur
