Science - Meteorology / storms | | English term or phrase: circulation | Bonjour,
dans le contexte météorologique (ici, la poursuite d'une tornade), est-ce que circulation signifie bien "courant" ?
Voici quelques phrases en exemple :
"There were trash cans flying by, there were tree branches and trees, and trash, and lawn chairs and I think it was a very wide circulation that we go through."
"we have a developing tornado just south-west of us, but there’s another area of circulation kind of south-west, so we’ve got to be careful if we try to deploy pods on this one that we don’t run in, in front of that circulation."
Merci de votre aide ! |

You could have kept the same word in French ("circulation") but I think (I'm not sure) that the term "circulation" is more used in English than in French, that's why "courant" I think suits well. |
