Sentence examples for downstream gradient from inspiring English sources
At the foot of the headcut is a plunge pool, downstream of which occurs a depositional slope of low downstream gradient.
Sand slabs on a stoss side move fastest at the local peak (state s1), and other sand slabs (for example, partway down the slope) slow down as the downstream gradient increases, due to the competing gravitational force.
Longitudinal (downstream) gradients in productivity, disturbance regimes, and habitat structure exert strong effects on the organisms and energy sources of river food webs, but their effects on species interactions are just beginning to be explored.
The contribution of potential ligand diffusion (Yu et al., 2009) to the shape of the gradients, or to the downstream gradients of signal reception, has not been examined.
This is consistent with the distribution of the different genomic groups not following an upstream-downstream gradient.
Under close examination, we find that while all surface sediments show the same major species, palynological maps established in the BB regarding some specific pollen taxa exhibit differences and upstream-downstream gradients.
The two major factors that control the critical hydraulic gradient for instability in soil slopes are the downstream slope angles β and the gradient of the soil layer ψ (Iverson and Major 1986; Budhu and Gobin 1996).
We estimate that this accumulated during ∼5 3 Ma when uplift rates were low, such that aggradation was necessary to maintain a downstream channel gradient in response to the coastal retreat.
Fig. 14 Trends of hydraulic gradients in dams built with downstream slope angles of (a) 30° (b) 40° (c) 50° (d) 60°.
A series of experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of downstream slope angle β on the critical hydraulic gradients for failure of landslide dams (Exp 16~19).
Near the downstream toe, the gradient of the pore water pressures is steep, and constraints holding the soil structure together are low; this is one area of weakness in an embankment dam.
