Sentence examples for morphometric indices such from inspiring English sources

This study applies and evaluates morphometric indices (such as hypsometry, long profile analysis, stream gradient index, and linear/areal catchment characteristics) to the Gouritz catchment, a large discordant catchment in the Western Cape.

In addition, changes in plant morphometric indexes such as leaf area and relative water content in leaves are the result of the adaptation mechanism induction of investigated plants at drought conditions.

Spatial variation of morphometric indices were assessed across catchment (trunk rivers) and subcatchment scales.

Morphometric indices of landslide dam stability calibrated in other environments were applied to the Oregon dams.

We studied eight morphometric indices at two scales: whole island (~ 11,000 km2) and within sequences of reefal terraces (~ 3000 km2).

Rock type variation is interpreted to be the key control on morphometric indices within the Gouritz catchment, especially hypsometry and stream length gradient.

Morphometric indices evaluated showed the correlation of landscape within the massif with NE SW and NW SE structures, as well as landforms related with recent tectonic influence.

While morphometric indices can be a useful procedure in the evaluation of landscape evolution, this study shows that care must be taken in the application of morphometric indices to constrain tectonic or climatic variation in ancient landscapes because of inherited tectonic structures and signal shredding.

For all indices, the transient conditions of the drainage influence the correlation with Pleistocene mean uplift rates, illustrating the necessity to extract morphometric indices with an appropriate choice of catchment scale.

Validation using standard morphometric indices showed excellent consistency between automatically and manually segmented data.

We found that the morphometric indices over-predicted dam instability (Table 5), using a realistic dam volume of 10% of the landslide volume.
