Sentence examples for horizontal variation from inspiring English sources
Depth-wise stratified random sampling reduces the number of samples and is suitable when horizontal variation is high.
Comparisons to recent patchy cloud models and previously obtained observations over multiple wavelengths confirm that thick clouds combined with horizontal variation in the cloud cover generally reproduce the planets' spectral energy distributions.
It is concluded that in these soils, at least two or three vertical transects are required to capture the horizontal variation for estimating profile SOC stock.
We also compared forest structure as measured in three dimensions by LiDAR, considering vertical and horizontal variation in canopy organization, as well as the abundance of treefall gaps.
Discrepancies between the protocols remaining after volume-weighting may be because sampling under the CEN protocol overlooks horizontal variation in pelagic fish communities.
We combine a covariance model for the increment-averaged data in the vertical domain with another model for the horizontal variation.
The velocity model obtained shows substantial horizontal variations of crustal structure across the study area.
Most broad variations in the topography of the ocean floor, the mid-ocean ridges and rises, are due to horizontal variations in temperature in the outer 100 kilometres of the Earth.
All these results, except meiofauna, indicated that there were no significant horizontal variations within the sediment in any of the parallel incubation experiments.
An additional consequence of upwelling and downwelling for stratified waters is to create a baroclinic field of mass (that is, a volume whose horizontal pressure gradient varies with depth due to horizontal variations in temperature and salinity).
(The acceleration terms rather than temperature make the main contribution to horizontal variations of pressure and density). A secure result cannot be obtained until the flow patterns and velocities are known, from a detailed theory of planetary convection, or from direct observation.
