Record 2 2004-08-01

English

Subject field(s)
  • Atmospheric Physics
DEF

Extensive region of the Earth’s surface characterized by essentially uniform surface conditions and so placed with respect to the general atmospheric circulation that an air mass may remain in contact with it long enough to acquire its own characteristic properties.

CONT

... air masses are classified according to the characteristics of their source region or area of formation. A source region can have one of four temperature attributes : equatorial, tropical, polar or arctic. Air masses are also classified as being either continental or maritime in terms of moisture characteristics. Combining these two categories, several possibilities are commonly found associated with North America : maritime polar(mP), continental polar(cP), maritime tropical(mT), continental tropical(cT), and continental arctic(A).

Key term(s)
  • air-mass source region
  • air-mass source area
  • airmass source area
  • air-mass source
  • air mass source

French

Domaine(s)
  • Physique de l'atmosphère
DEF

Région étendue de la surface terrestre caractérisée par des conditions de surface essentiellement uniformes et située de telle façon, par rapport à la circulation atmosphérique générale, qu'une masse d'air puisse rester en contact avec elle suffisamment longtemps pour acquérir ses propriétés caractéristiques.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Física de la atmósfera
DEF

Región extensa de la superficie de la Tierra, con condiciones superficiales esencialmente homogéneas, situada de tal manera con respecto a la circulación atmosférica general, que una masa de aire puede permanecer sobre ella un intervalo de tiempo lo suficientemente largo como para adquirir sus propiedades características.

Record 3 2000-03-08

English

Subject field(s)
  • Nervous System
  • Special-Language Phraseology
CONT

It has been speculated that each cortical area produces awareness of only those visual features that are "columnar", or arranged in the stack or column of neurons perpendicular to the cortical surface. Thus, area V1 could code for orientation and area MT for motion.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Système nerveux
  • Phraséologie des langues de spécialité
CONT

On suppose que chaque aire corticale ne perçoit que les stimuli visuels dont la structure de l'image sur la rétine correspond à des colonnes perpendiculaires à la surface corticale : ainsi l'aire V1 coderait-elle pour l'orientation et l'aire MT pour le mouvement.

Record 4 1994-09-08

English

Subject field(s)
  • Nervous System
CONT

All the cells in a prestriate area called V5 are responsive to motion, most are directionally selective and none is concerned with the color of the moving stimulus. V5 is specialized for visual motion and, therefore, some investigators prefer the label MT to V5.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Système nerveux
CONT

Toutes les cellules de l'aire préstriée V5 (aussi nommée aire MT) sont sensibles au mouvement et, pour la plupart, spécifiques de certaines directions, et aucune d'entre elles n'est sensible à la couleur des cibles en mouvement. L'aire V5 semble spécialisée dans la perception du mouvement.
