A new lineage is designated when there is support for a clade of viruses being epidemiologically distinct from their parental viruses. A lineage needs to be a clade within the phylogenetic tree that has one or more defining evolutionary events.

La surveillance continue des données génomiques mondiales sur le SRAS-CoV-2 a permis d’identifier des modifications qui se produisent dans le génome du virus à mesure qu’il se propage dans les diverses populations. Ces modifications ou mutations aléatoires se produisent au fil de l’évolution d’un virus.

Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 CONT
A monsoon circulation is similar to a sea/land breeze, except that it occurs over a much larger area. The most famous monsoon circulation occurs over India and southeast Asia. During the summer, the air over the continent becomes much warmer than the water surface, so the surface air moves from the water to the land. The humid air from the water converges with dry air from over the continent and produces precipitation over the region. Additional lifting from hills and mountains causes copious amounts of precipitation to occur, over 400 inches at some locations! During the winter the flow reverses and the dominant surface flow moves from the land to the water. 4, record 3, English, - monsoon
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 OBS
The term is generally confined to a situation where the primary cause is the differential heating (changing in sense from summer to winter) between a continent and the adjacent ocean. 3, record 3, English, - monsoon

Le régime de mousson affecte des zones intertropicales et plus particulièrement l'Inde, l'Insulinde et l'Extrême-Orient.

A source region can have one of four temperature attributes: equatorial, tropical, polar or arctic. Air masses are also classified as being either continental or maritime in terms of moisture characteristics.
