temperature inversion: a layer in the atmosphere in which temperature increases with altitude; the principal characteristic of an inversion layer is its marked static stability, so that very little turbulent exchange can occur within it. 3, record 1, English, - turbulent%20exchange

La surface de l'océan, interface entre un milieu liquide et gazeux [mer/air], est un lieu d'échange d'énergie et de matière entre les deux milieux sous l'influence du vent, du rayonnement solaire, et des courants océaniques. [...] Ces échanges se répartissent en trois classes : échanges radiatifs, échanges turbulents (quantité de mouvement, chaleur), génération et évolution des vagues sous l'effet du vent. 2, record 1, French, - %C3%A9change%20turbulent

Les échanges turbulents jouent un rôle essentiel dans la définition de la structure de la couche limite; [ils] déterminent des flux cruciaux tels que ceux de la chaleur sensible, d'humidité et de vent entre la surface et l'atmosphère. Par conséquent, la paramétrisation de la diffusion verticale est un élément important dans la paramétrisation des processus atmosphériques. 3, record 1, French, - %C3%A9change%20turbulent

This equation ... assumes that the major part of the turbulent transport is dominated by eddies smaller than the distance over which the gradient is measured. This requirement is not met with elevated measurement heights in a strongly convective boundary layer. Since the turbulent exchange coefficient is a property of the flow and not of the compound transported, a similarity between exchange coefficients for passive scalar properties can be assumed. 5, record 2, English, - turbulent%20exchange%20coefficient

Le transport vertical des gaz CO2 et CH4 sous forme dissoute dans le réservoir se fait par diffusion turbulente et par mélange convectif. Deux formulations du paramétrage du transfert des gaz vers l'atmosphère ont été testées pour l'estimation des flux de GES [gaz à effet de serre] à la surface des réservoirs. La première formulation fait appel aux coefficients d'échanges turbulents alors que la seconde s'apparente à un modèle de couche-limite. 2, record 2, French, - coefficient%20d%27%C3%A9change%20turbulent
