Sentence examples for river slopes from inspiring English sources

Traditional slope calculation algorithms cannot accurately predict river slopes as these are based on cell-by-cell calculation, which is only suitable for hillslopes and small mountainous streams.

Inherited glacial signatures in river slope appear as deviations in a stream length-gradient index (SL/K index), where river reaches are frequently oversteepened or understeepened.

This paper presents a methodology for calculating global river slope and a procedure to upscale it for relatively coarse resolution, suitable for global scale modeling.

Limitations in river slope data, both its availability and accuracy, constrain the fidelity of fluvial modeling, particularly at larger or global scales.

Twin cast-iron tubes, 15 to 16 feet in diameter, were built in sections from either side of the river, sloping down to a center point beneath the river bottom and ascending gradually to the other side.

A semi-empirical regression analysis between basin-average river slope and other basin-scale parameters show that terrain slope accounts for 67% of the variability in basin-average river slope, with average discharge, sediment load and basin temperature contributing additional improvements to global predictions of 3%, 4%, and 3%, respectively.

Because downtown St . Paulsits on a bluff and the development site is in a flood plain (in fact, the bridges that span the river slope downward), the Bridges proposal called for a large parking deck to raise the grade level.

In the areas of glaciation the landscape changed radically from an organised terrain dominated by large rivers and extensive shallow coastal zones to complex, with small valleys, disrupted drainage and often discontinuous river, slope and coastal deposits.

However, the low-saturation area was not large enough for fish to avoid the negative effects of TDG saturation due to a sharp river slope and a large flow ratio between the mainstream and its tributary.

Numerous factors influence the character of a delta, the most important of which are: climatic conditions, geologic setting and sediment sources in the drainage basin, tectonic stability, river slope and flooding characteristics, intensities of depositional and erosional processes, and tidal range and offshore energy conditions.

The CryoSat-2 results utilize an approximate correction for river slope as the river crossings span 5 km upstream to 80 km downstream of the gauge while the repeat pass crossings of Envisat are at 7 km and 43 km from the gauge.
