Record 3 2010-10-25

English

Subject field(s)
  • Scientific Measurements and Analyses
  • Plant Biology
CONT

The total water potential, which describes the energy of the water contained in the plant can be estimated from leaf water potential (LWP) measurements, by the use of the pressure bomb in salinity studies. The major components of LWP are leaf osmotic potential (LOP) and leaf turgor potential (LTP). Leaf water potential and leaf osmotic potential can be measured directly by the use of the pressure bomb and the vapor pressure osmometer, respectively. The LTP can be estimated by the equation LTP = LWP - LOP.

OBS

Certains polluants, comme le SO2 affectent de façon sélective les cellules péristomatiques sans perturber les cellules de garde. Ceci explique en partie pourquoi ces polluants provoquent d'abord une ouverture stomatique : les cellules péristomatiques abimées souffrent probablement d'une réduction de leur potentiel de turgescence et opposent ainsi une résistance mécanique aux cellules de garde moins importante que si elles étaient en bon état,

English

Subject field(s)
  • Meteorological Forecasting, Data Measurement and Analysis
  • Modelling (Mathematics)
CONT

Sea ice thermodynamics are based on the zero-layer model of Semtner (1976), with the inclusion of an ice concentration parameter A after Hibler (1979). ... Atmospheric surface fluxes and temperatures are calculated separately over the ice and the leads, with a linear temperature profile assumed in the ice interior. Shortwave radiation does not penetrate the ice interior, but does warm the ocean where there are leads, just as it would at open ocean grid squares.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Prévisions météorologiques et mesure et analyse des données
  • Modélisation (Mathématique)
CONT

Estimer la valeur de Tw en calculant un profil linéaire de température au sein de la glace, lorsqu'on néglige tous les effets dynamiques et que la température de l'eau du lac est supposée être maintenue à Tf.
