From a distance, their trunks are a network of "ski slope" trails where long, broad plates of dark and light gray crisscross.
Consider local east or west facing slope trails, at least "expert" elevation, preferably with at least some minor ravines.
I followed the gently sloping trail for three and a third miles, where it intersected with the Appalachian Trail just below the summit.
Running along the base of the valley, it's a gently sloping trail that follows the old railway lines that used to carry coal from the mines.
The sequester, which I would call "America's worst idea," was supposed to save money, but when sloping trails aren't maintained every year or two, they erode and require major repairs that cost even more.
And then up another hill, in a fine, cold rain, to a residential neighborhood whose vegetable gardens grew on steep slopes trailing down to a newly cleared construction site.
Water depth records were used to estimate flowing water periods based on comparisons with survey data and to measure any changes in water surface slope across trail crossings.
The metrics of the waveforms, such as the noise floor, peak magnitude, mid-point position of the leading edge, leading edge slope and trailing edge slope, can be derived from the parameters of the proposed models.
The single-parameter retrieval models are developed by comparing the peak magnitude, leading edge slope and trailing edge slope derived from the parameters of the proposed models with in situ wind speed from the ASCAT scatterometer.
Most restaurants are decidedly low key, serving tired families a hearty meal after a day on the slopes, the trails or the water.
