Shallow wind which blows, by day and night, down the slopes of a glacier.  3, record 1, English, - glacier%20breeze

Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT

[The] glacier wind [is] caused by the temperature difference between the air in contact with the glacier and free air at the same altitude. The glacier wind does not reverse itself diurnally as do mountain and valley winds, but it reaches its maximum intensity in the early afternoon. The glacier wind is characterized by strongly turbulent flow.  4, record 1, English, - glacier%20breeze

Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 DEF

Undulating movement of the sea surface persisting after the originating cause of the motion has ceased.  2, record 3, English, - swell

Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 CONT

Swells [are] wind-generated waves that have traveled out of their generating area. Swells characteristically exhibit smoother, more regular and uniform crests and a longer period than wind waves.  3, record 3, English, - swell

Record number: 3, Textual support number: 2 CONT

Although the wind is usually what creates the swell, the "local" wind does not necessarily coincide with the wind that created the prevailing swell. The "local" wind can oppose the swell to decrease the height of the swell, or it may reinforce the swell. It depends on the speed, direction, and fetch of the "local" wind.  4, record 3, English, - swell

Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 OBS

[The swell] is caused either by wind at a distance from the place of observation or by winds which persisted in the locality previous to the time of observation.  2, record 3, English, - swell

Record number: 3, Textual support number: 2 OBS

The vertical motion of the swell translates to horizontal motion underwater, or as we call it - surge. The greater the height, the greater the surge, and thus the more silt is stirred up off the bottom to decrease visibility.  4, record 3, English, - swell

Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 OBS

El primero [oleaje] obedece al viento local, mientras que el segundo, más fuerte y coherente, llamado mar de fondo, está producido por vientos o perturbaciones lejanas y se propaga, con poca pérdida de energía, hasta grandes distancias. La falta de coherencia entre ambos tiende a amortiguar el mar de fondo.  3, record 3, Spanish, - mar%20de%20fondo

Dans les régions accidentées présentant de forts contrastes thermiques, par exemple le long des côtes, les caractéristiques du vent en surface peuvent être sensiblement modifiées, par effet de brise (brise de mer, de vallée) ou effet de venturi (mistral, tramontane,...).  2, record 4, French, - effet%20Venturi
