Deep and bottom water masses. Deep water masses flow between the surface and intermediate water masses and the sea-bed; if the deepest water in contact with the sea-bed is distinguishable from the overlying water, it is referred to as bottom water.  3, record 1, English, - bottom%20water

A water mass formed by deep winter convection at the coast of Antarctica, particularly in the Weddell and Ross Seas but also at other shelf locations.  3, record 2, English, - Antarctic%20bottom%20water

Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT

The waters of the Atlantic Ocean, on the other hand, in the immediate vicinity of the Antarctic continent, especially around the Weddell Sea, reach extremely low temperatures particularly during winter. This low temperature, coupled with high salinity resulting from ice formation, causes the water mass to sink and flow along the ocean floor in a direction toward the equator. This water mass ... is called Antarctic bottom water ...  4, record 2, English, - Antarctic%20bottom%20water

Pendant l'hiver austral, au contraire, l'eau littorale antarctique est à une température aussi basse que possible, et elle est plus salée qu'en été, car la congélation de la banquise expulse du sel. Dense, elle plonge alors le long de l'escarpement continental, et va former sur le fond la masse dite eau antarctique de fond, que sa forte densité va faire s'insinuer sous toutes les autres masses d'eau océaniques, et se répandre, au prix d'altérations successives de ses caractères initiaux, jusqu'au-delà de l'équateur.  1, record 2, French, - eau%20antarctique%20de%20fond

The water mass formed in the Arctic Ocean by a combination of freezing on the arctic shelf and deep winter convection in the Greenland and Norwegian Seas.  3, record 3, English, - Arctic%20bottom%20water

Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 CONT

Freezing increases the salinity under the ice; the dense water sinks to the ocean floor and leaves the arctic basins to enter the Greenland and Norwegian Seas, where it mixes with water that sinks under the influence of surface cooling. The resulting water mass has a salinity of 34.95 psu [practical salinity unit] and a temperature of -0.8° to -0.9° C. It fills the Arctic Ocean at all depths below 800 m, the sill depth to the Atlantic. It enters the Atlantic in bursts, when the passage of atmospheric depressions lifts the thermocline and allows Arctic bottom water to flow over the sill.  3, record 3, English, - Arctic%20bottom%20water

réservoir avec chapeau de gaz (ou «gas-cap») et aquifère de fond. Ce type de réservoir est assez courant. La phase hydrocarbure liquide en conditions de fond (à la profondeur du réservoir) est surmontée d'une phase hydrocarbure gazeuse, et est elle-même située au-dessus d'une phase eau. Les trois phases se mettent en place naturellement de la plus lourde en bas à la plus légère en haut, simplement par différences de densités. La présence de deux phases pour l'hydrocarbure est liée aux conditions thermodynamiques de pression et de température qui existent dans le réservoir.
