plus limité Explanation: "Global reanalysis: goodbye ERA-Interim, hello ERA5 | ECMWF https://www.ecmwf.int › newsletter › meteorology › global-reanalysis-goo... Reanalysis data are more accurate overall today than they were in the pre-satellite era, when observations were relatively sparse. ... These estimates depend on flow-dependent uncertainties in the short-range forecasts used in data assimilation." |

plus éparses Explanation: The meaning of "sparser" is that the observations were taken at greater intervals of time and/or space, i.e. further apart. https://bit.ly/2IwZKFT Philippe Combessie - 1996 - Prisons ... d'autres fois, notamment lorsqu'il s'agit des réactions de la population, j'ai construit mes démonstrations à partir d'informations et d'observations plus éparses. https://www.techno-science.net/actualite/el-ni-o-cours-holoc...

What was sparse was not so much the observing system, but the distribution of observation points within it and the observations that could be made. |
