The meteorological optical range is the length of path in the atmosphere required to reduce the luminous flux in a collimated beam from an incandescent lamp, at a colour temperature of 2700 K, to 5% of its original value, the luminous flux being evaluated by means of the photometric luminosity function of the International Commission on Illumination (CIE). 3, record 1, English, - meteorological%20optical%20range

La portée optique météorologique ou POM, actuellement communiquée aux usagers aéronautiques, est la visibilité au sens météorologique. Elle caractérise l'atmosphère et est une mesure de sa transparence. Elle ne dépend pas de l'alternance jour/nuit et ne fait pas intervenir la détection de sources lumineuses. C'est une visibilité par contraste. Elle est mesurée par un diffusomètre ou estimée par un observateur à partir de la distance connue de repères non lumineux autour du lieu d'observation. 2, record 1, French, - port%C3%A9e%20optique%20m%C3%A9t%C3%A9orologique

The At–Sea Observer Program was designed to collect independent fisheries data for science, resource management and compliance and deterrence purposes. This important component of fishery management provides information and an at-sea presence while fisheries are on-going. At-sea observers (ASO) observe, record and report detailed biological and fishery data, such as fishing effort and all catch data, fishing gear type, and fishing location. 3, record 2, English, - At%2DSea%20Observer%20Program

Le Programme des observateurs en mer a été conçu pour recueillir des données impartiales sur les pêches à des fins scientifiques, de gestion des ressources, de conformité et de dissuasion. Cette composante importante de la gestion des pêches fournit des renseignements et une présence en mer lorsque les pêches sont en cours. Les observateurs en mer observent, notent et signalent des données biologiques et halieutiques détaillées, telles que l'effort de pêche et toutes les données sur les prises, le type d'engin de pêche, le lieu de pêche, etc. 3, record 2, French, - Programme%20des%20observateurs%20en%20mer
