Sentence examples for basin elevation from inspiring English sources

We found that such model is possible using drainage area, mean basin elevation, and mean annual precipitation as predicting variables for any site located above 600 m across the CONUS.

However, some topographic variables like basin area and elongation ratio exert limited influence on erosion rates; while others, such as basin elevation, basin relief and basin roughness, show poor correlation.

The distribution of large gaps was not random within the watershed and occurred at an average density of 1 per 39 ha in the basin (elevation <700 m), which is characterized by hills of low relief and soils with high clay content.

The relative elevation (h/H) is calculated as the ratio of height of a given contour above the base plane (h) to the maximum basin elevation from the outlet (H); whereas the relative area (a/A) is calculated as a ratio of the area above a particular contour (a) to the total area of the watershed (A).

The prevalence of P. falciparum malaria in school children in the low-altitude region of Lake Victoria basin (elevation ≈1,200 m) adjacent to the highlands reaches >80% (31– 34), which is much higher than malaria prevalence in the highlands.

Environmental factors (distance to CSO and catch basins, elevation, land use, and canopy coverage) were averaged per tract, whereas tract estimates of sociodemographic factors (i.e., median household income and percentage of houses built in the 1950s and 1960s) were obtained from the 2000 U.S. census (U.S. Census Bureau 2000).

Predictors of Cx. quinquefasciatus abundance and WNV infection rates (distance to CSO and catch basins, elevation, land use) were estimated at each trap location by averaging values within 1 km of each location (to account for spatial dependence in trap collections due to mosquito flight).

Horton overland flow is a significant predictor for reference basins, while minimum watershed elevation is a significant predictor for non-reference basins.

Similarly, in supercritical flow structures, such as open channel chutes, determination of stilling basin invert elevation is very important.

In the Tabriz basin the elevation increases from 1260 m in the lowest part at the Urmia Lake, to 3680 m above sea level in the Sahand Mountains (Feizizadeh and Blaschke, 2013a).

A modeling sensitivity analysis confirmed that the observed changes to channel geometry and orientation likely promoted flows of water and sediment through the diversion while increases in basin-bed elevation would have had a contrary effect.
