The term "drift distance" is a correct and usable term in written English.
You can use it when referring to the physical distance something has moved over a period of time due to drifting forces, such as the wind. For example, "The boat had drifted a considerable distance away from the dock before the crew noticed it had gone."
It has a 2.6m drift distance, 8256 sense wires connected to cold CMOS analog front end electronics.
One water channel is dug through the center line of a traditional solid anchor to decrease the rotation angle and the drift distance when anchoring.
Drilling platform should avoid a large drift distance, which may result in the deflection over the flex joint working range and the enlargement of the riser bend moment.
The particles drift along the spanwise direction mostly take place at the initial stage, and both maximum and average drift distance finally reach a stable value.
The effects of top tension, drilling platform drift distance, surface current speed, wave height, wave period, wave length, wind speed and damping coefficient on riser lateral displacement, bending moment, and deflection are also discussed.
The distribution of riser lateral displacement, bending moment, and deflection increases with the increase in surface current speed and drilling platform drift distance, whereas decreases with the increasing top tension and damping coefficient.
Drift times are measured, and the respective drift velocities are calculated for the known drift distances.
Time required usually exceeds 4 days, and downstream drift distances can exceed 100 kms (Dudley and Platania 2007b).
A simple measure of drift or distance between methylation patterns is the total number of methylation site differences between two CpG rich sequences [ 12].
Interestingly, the output of the LDA filter consistently produced a rolling background drift over distances comparable to the length of the filter function.
Oil can become frozen in ice and drift long distances, and oil trapped under ice also breaks down more slowly because of reduced wave action.
