Dans l'expérience de Reynolds, un ensemble de réalisations de l'écoulement pourrait être défini par un ensemble d’expériences conduites chaque jour sur la même installation. Dans le cas de l'atmosphère terrestre, on pourrait considérer comme une épreuve particulière l'écoulement atmosphérique observé sur une année donnée. Les moyennes d’ensemble que l'on peut ainsi obtenir, au moins en principe, sont en général celles qui ont la faveur du théoricien. Si ces moyennes sont invariantes dans le temps, on dira que la turbulence est stationnaire. Si elles sont invariantes par translation dans l'espace, on dira que la turbulence est homogène. 2, record 2, French, - turbulence%20homog%C3%A8ne

Active optics is a relatively new technology for reflecting telescopes developed in the 1980s, which has more recently enabled the construction of a generation of telescopes with 8 metre primary mirrors. Active optics works by "actively" adjusting the telescope's mirrors. This method is used by, among others, the Nordic Optical Telescope, the New Technology Telescope and the Keck telescopes, as well as all of the largest telescopes built in the last decade. 3, record 3, English, - active%20optics

The interest of a ground based Slit Aperture Telescope (SAT) which operates with a long thin pupil has been underlined for applications in the field of high angular resolution observations by speckle-interferometric techniques. The SAT lies halfway between the Michelson stellar interferometer and the standard telescope with circular aperture. The authors present the principle of an image processing algorithm which could be used associated with a space-SAT for astronomical image reconstruction. A full coverage of the two dimensional Fourier plane of the astronomical object can be obtained by rotating the SAT around its optical axis. The method of image reconstruction is analogous to those used in computerized tomography and uses Fast Fourier Transform algorithm. The interest of the use of a rotating space-SAT among synthetic apertures is its capability of giving a reconstructed image of the astronomical object simultaneously in several light wavelengths, each colored image being comparable with the others for fruitful astrophysical applications. 3, record 5, English, - slit%20aperture%20telescope

La hauteur de mélange correspond à l'épaisseur de la couche atmosphérique près du sol dans laquelle les polluants peuvent se disperser en quelques heures. Deux principaux mécanismes permettent aux polluants de se disperser rapidement dans la verticale : la turbulence thermique et la turbulence mécanique. La turbulence thermique se produit lorsque l'air est moins dense près du sol, par exemple lors d’une journée ensoleillée et chaude. La turbulence mécanique est due à la variation verticale du vent et elle augmente lorsque les vents sont forts et que la surface du sol est rugueuse. Le programme d’Environnement Canada qui estime la hauteur de mélange, [...] comporte maintenant certains paramètres d’ajustement, dont le principal est celui de la longueur de rugosité. La valeur de ce paramètre dépend de l'environnement dans un rayon de 5 km du site modélisé. Par exemple, la longueur de rugosité en milieu fortement urbanisé est d’environ 1 m, tandis qu'elle est de quelques centimètres au-dessus de surfaces gazonnées. Il est important de noter que les vitesses de vent aux stations météorologiques synoptiques(situées dans les aéroports) sont généralement mesurées au-dessus de surfaces dont la longueur de rugosité est petite(quelques cm). Si les vents étaient mesurés au-dessus de surfaces très rugueuses, leurs valeurs seraient beaucoup plus faibles. 4, record 12, French, - longueur%20de%20rugosit%C3%A9
