La distribution de température dans l'océan n’ est pas le seul résultat de l'absorption d’énergie solaire et du mélange turbulent vertical. L'advection par les courants joue un rôle prépondérant. Cette advection est d’ailleurs nécessaire pour maintenir, par équilibre dynamique, la distribution verticale de température. 3, record 1, French, - advection

The boron-lined compensated ionization chamber is a differential chamber formed by three electrodes which define two elementary chambers. The first elementary chamber is located between the positive high voltage polarization electrode and the signal electrode which collects the charges developed by ionization in the gas. The surfaces of the electrodes of this elementary chamber are covered with a boron lining. This elementary chamber is therefore sensitive to neutrons and to gamma rays. 1, record 4, English, - boron%2Dlined%20compensated%20ionization%20chamber

L'une est sensible aux neutrons et aux gamma et l'autre aux seuls gamma. Les deux courants obtenus se soustraient et le courant résultant ne comporte qu'une faible composante due aux gamma, il est donc proportionnel à la puissance du réacteur.

Son domaine de fonctionnement se recouvre avec celui d’un détecteur impulsionnel travaillant aux faibles niveaux. 1, record 4, French, - chambre%20d%26rsquo%3Bionisation%20compens%C3%A9e%20%C3%A0%20d%C3%A9p%C3%B4t%20de%20bore
