Un tsunami est étymologiquement une vague déferlant sur un port (du japonais tsu : port et nami : vague). Cette vague est en fait une onde de gravité due à un séisme, un glissement brusque du fond marin, la chute d'une météorite ou à une éruption volcanique. Le déplacement rapide du plancher océanique génère des vagues rapides (de 700 à 800 km/h), de grande longueur d'onde (400 à 500 km), et dont la hauteur croit quand la profondeur d'eau diminue.  3, record 2, French, - onde%20de%20gravit%C3%A9

New methods of acoustic imaging are presented that provide images with reduced reverberation noise and images of nonlinear scattering and propagation parameters of the object, and estimation methods of corrections for wave front aberrations produced by spatial variations in the acoustic propagation velocity. The methods find use in a variety of applications such as acoustic imaging of geological structures, SONAR imaging of sub-sea objects, and medical ultrasound imaging. The methods are based on processing of the received signal from transmitted dual frequency band acoustic pulse complexes with overlapping high and low frequency pulses. The high frequency pulse is used for the image reconstruction and the low frequency pulse is used to manipulate the nonlinear scattering and/or propagation properties of the high frequency pulse.  3, record 3, English, - acoustic%20imaging

The measurement of high frequency fluctuations of wind can also be made with hot wire and sonic anemometers ... The sonic anemometer uses the difference in the velocity of propagation of two ultrasonic sound pulses, one moving with and one against the wind, to determine the wind speed.
