The Confederates needed to get cannons to top of the heights, and this looked to be no small feat.
Russian soldiers and commanders on top of the heights were stunned to see so many French troops coming towards them.
The musketry duel between the two sides had scarcely begun, however, when the French cavalry appeared; the light horse approached along the top of the heights while Latour-Maubourg's dragoons advanced from the rear.
Top-of-the-canopy height.
Power-law models using rasters of top-of-the-canopy height were compared with models using tree-level information extracted from the ALS dataset.

A simple estimation model that predicts ACD as a power-law function of top-of-the-canopy height (TCH) was almost as accurate as elaborate tree-centric approaches that require much more computational power (Table 1).
Many summary statistics are used to construct area-based regression relationships, but one has proven particularly effective for modeling carbon from ALS: the top-of-the-canopy height, TCH, defined as the average height of the uppermost returns measured in the pixels comprising a plot (Asner and Mascaro 2014).

The unique rounded top, location, and height of the peak create a landmark distinguishable from as far away as Shady Cove, 15.5 mile to the north, and the Siskiyou Summit, 23.5 mile to the south.
