Types de diagrammes. Le temps emploie un diagramme spécial qui permet de représenter de manière simple les processus physiques auquel l'air est soumis durant ses mouvements ascendants et descendants. La température est portée en abscisse et la pression en ordonnée. [...] Il existe plusieurs types de diagrammes, qui se différencient en fonction des échelles de température et de pression. Les plus couramment utilisés sont l'émagramme, le diagramme oblique «T-log p», le téphigramme et le diagramme de Stüve. [...] Dans le diagramme oblique «T-log p» et le téphigramme, les lignes de température constante ne sont pas verticales, mais inclinées à 45° environ vers la droite. Ce système permet non seulement de compenser la baisse moyenne de température de 0, 65 °C par 100 m(le tracé du sondage penche ainsi moins vers la gauche), mais de mieux y reconnaître les degrés de stabilité ou d’instabilité de l'atmosphère. 3, record 4, French, - t%C3%A9phigramme

An angle defined by a line drawn tangential to the tibial crest, a second line tangential to the proximal tibial articular surfaces and a third line perpendicular to the tibial crest line. The interval found between the second and third lines defines the angle. The normal angle range from 7 to 22 ° with a mean of 14 ° and a standard deviation of [+ or -] 3.6 °. This angle is useful in determining the degree of depression of the tibial plateau due to fracture. [From LUSRO, 1978, p. 190.] 2, record 7, English, - tibial%20plateau%20angle
