We then calculated different descriptors of the species' ranges: total range-size, maximum latitudinal and longitudinal limits, and latitudinal and longitudinal centroids.
Latitudinal and longitudinal centroid positions (centre of mass of the polygon or polygons) and maximum latitudinal and longitudinal limits were computed as geographical coordinates.
Maximum latitudinal and longitudinal limits were positively correlated with range size, with species at the most northern latitudes and eastern longitudes displaying the largest ranges.
Typically, the present global latitudinal limit of coral reef development is constrained by the 18 °C winter maximum sea surface isotherm (Kleypas et al. 1999).
"The Southern Ocean (defined by the 40ºS latitudinal limit) is the most energetic basin and dominates the other oceans in terms of (wave power)," the report reads.
In this study, we use the GPS scintillation data to measure the maximum latitudinal extension of the plasma bubble.
In this study, to investigate the effects of PRE on the maximum latitudinal extension of plasma bubbles, we have used two datasets.
As shown in Figs. 3c and 4c, however, there is no correlation between the duration of PRE and the maximum latitudinal extension of scintillations.
We have also found that the maximum latitudinal extension of plasma bubble is well positively correlated with the peak h'F, maximum V u and the integral of V u, but that it is not correlated with the duration of PRE.
The first of these, latitude, was measured as maximum latitudinal degrees of the breeding range from equator.
