Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Eviter le redondant bouclier protecteur (protective shield, en anglais). 2, record 1, French, - bouclier%20d%27ozone
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS
Cette notion recoupe à peu près celle de couche d'ozone. La seule différence réside dans l'insistance du terme bouclier d'ozone sur l'aspect protection; de ce fait, le bouclier d'ozone comprend nécessairement la totalité des molécules d'ozone protégeant la Terre. Par contre le terme couche d'ozone, ou ozonosphère dans ce sens, peut ne recouvrir, selon différents auteurs, qu'une partie de cette réalité. 2, record 1, French, - bouclier%20d%27ozone
