Building a Topographic Model; A Model of Sea-floor Spreading.
A topographic model, based on slope of the landscape, is used to identify potential geographic barriers worldwide.
The method to estimate spatial variability of radiation components utilized theoretical radiation modeling applied to a topographic model combined with spatial distribution of leaf area index derived from IKONOS imagery and empirical models derived from data collected on a single flux tower.
In the activity Building a Topographic Model, students created a three-dimensional model of a landform above sea level.
Exposure to hurricane winds for each tree during each storm was estimated using a topographic model (EXPOS), which determines the degree of exposure to winds given hurricane track and wind speed data, using a 5 m resolution, LiDAR-derived digital elevation map (DEM 34.
Combined, these features of elevation enabled to us build a topographic model that could be reliably generalized to all environments.
Ohio State glaciologist Howat said in an email that past researchers lacked three necessities: a high-resolution topographic model of the glaciers and ice caps, a detailed map of their boundaries and a high-resolution numerical model of drainage processes.
We used terrestrial lidar and differential global positioning system (GPS) surveying to construct a high-resolution topographic model of the dome and to map visible surface fractures from the exfoliation events.
To verify the effectiveness of the proposed standardization scheme, a wind tunnel testing involved the topographic model of a weather station has been conducted.
