By November, the Arctic inversion becomes well established and the basin area begins to experience lower mean temperatures than the surrounding mountain region. With cold air continually draining into the basin and a net loss of radiation due to long, often clear and calm winter nights, the surface temperatures can become bitterly cold, at times dropping below minus 50 °C.  2, fiche 1, Anglais, - Arctic%20inversion

Vers le mois de novembre, l'inversion arctique s'établit et la région commence à subir des températures moyennes plus basses que les régions montagneuses environnantes. L'air froid continuellement drainé dans le bassin et la perte nette de rayonnement durant les longues nuits d'hiver, parfois claires et sans vent, peuvent faire descendre la température assez radicalement, parfois même en dessous de -50 °C.  2, fiche 1, Français, - inversion%20arctique

With regard to the Pacific side of the Arctic Basin, Overland et al. (1997) report that the position of the tropospheric cold pool is approximately centered over the Canadian Arctic and the Beaufort Sea, displaced from the North Pole by orographic effects of the North American mountain ranges. The result is advection of atmospheric heat and moisture into the Greenland and Barents seas, and the eastern Arctic. The position of this arctic cold pool in turn affects the position of the arctic front and the atmospheric circulation in the western Pacific.  1, fiche 3, Anglais, - arctic%20cold%20pool

There are at least three distinct types of cold pool : 1. Large(in areal extent), slow-moving vortices at latitudes poleward of roughly 50deg N & S. They are often over, or immediately downwind of the source regions of polar or arctic air masses, in such areas as the Canadian Arctic or Siberian Russia. They take up the characteristics of quasi-permanent features, often appearing on monthly, or even seasonal average maps. The column of very cold(dense) air associated with this version of the cold pool, is reinforced by net outgoing radiation which produces a highly stable, bitterly cold near-surface environment, with a surface ridge or anticyclone on MSLP charts. 2. Once cold air from the source region as detailed in(1.) above is caught up in the circulation of mid-latitude depressions, the characteristics of the air mass are altered... 3. A pool of cold air can also become "detached" at lower latitudes...  2, fiche 3, Anglais, - arctic%20cold%20pool

What I (and I suspect 90% of my fellow-readers) find truly scandalous in the Peter Kormos flap is that, at this time of anemic business activities and emaciated corporate profits - not to mention hospital cutbacks and pension clawbacks - somebody is actually being paid $60,000 per annum out of the public purse to monitor sexism in beer ads.  1, fiche 5, Anglais, - clawback

This neologism is a compound. It is formed by putting together a word (claw) and a combining form (-back). Compounds are formed of various parts of speech, and often a compound differs in part of speech from its components (for example: claw (verb) + back (adverb) = clawback (noun]. A compound may appear to be quite self-explanatory, but often it holds a specialized meaning. Semantically, a clawback is a cutback taken several steps further. The words resemble each other, but the connotations are quite different: while a "cutback" might meet some public resistance, a "clawback" gives the impression of something virtually torn from the hands of the public and dragged away. "Claw" gives the idea of a vulture, and includes all of its negative implications. It should also be pointed out that "clawbacks" rhymes with "drawbacks", and while the latter is never actually seen, the reader likely makes a psychological connection between the two words, amplifying the effect of the former.  2, fiche 5, Anglais, - clawback

"Clawback" may be what is often termed a "nonce word" - a new word that is coined specifically for the occasion, a coinage which may soon disappear. Nonce words are formed with existing elements in the language, its standard words, combining forms, and affixes. Nonce words are often playful or fanciful coinages, many are puns, or are humorous.  2, fiche 5, Anglais, - clawback
