When terrain to be sprayed is sufficiently inclined to the horizontal and nonuniform in structure, it can create its own micrometeorology, depending on the insolation. The USDA Forest Service has studied these flows and their influences on aerial spraying over a number of years, and we summarize below the results of their recent work.

Managing the complexity of digital terrain models
Computers & Graphics, 1994Abstract Today, the surface of our planet can be sampled extremely accurately. Also, the need for information about the topography within specified regions becomes increasingly important in geographic information systems. Meaning can often only be extracted from certain data in combination with the digital terrain models. In particular, visualization

Insects provide excellent models for agile legged locomotion. They use a six legged body plan to walk rapidly on virtually any surface. As they move through complex terrain the changes in direction and body attitude require alterations in the basic tripod gait described in earlier lectures.

The philosophical project of this chapter is to consider the relationship of theory and practice in the supervisory contract with candidates who are undertaking research degrees in art and design or other creative fields. The approach works towards a generative form of praxis.

Transport and diffusion in complex terrain (review)
Boundary-Layer Meteorology, 1984This paper reviews activities over the past nine years involving the evaluation, verification and development of atmospheric transport and diffusion models applied to air pollution assessments in complex/ mountainous terrain settings. Results from experiments performed at different complex terrain settings under stably stratified flow conditions have ...

Targeted Dropwindsondes in Complex Terrain
Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology, 2007Abstract The dropwindsonde (or dropsonde) is a frequently utilized tool in geophysical research and its use over ocean and flat terrain is a reliable and well-established practice. Its use in complex terrain, however, is complicated by signal acquisition challenges that can be directly related to the ground target location, local relief,

Reflecting on a Complex Terrain
2013This paper works on two levels. Firstly it offers a critical reflection on the process of supervising creative practice-led research degrees in the creative fields of art and design.

The Complexity of Bisectors and Voronoi Diagrams on Realistic Terrains
2008We prove tight bounds on the complexity of bisectors and Voronoi diagrams on so-called realistic terrains, under the geodesic distance. In particular, if n denotes the number of triangles in the terrain, we show the following two results. (i) If the triangles of the terrain have bounded slope and the projection of the set of triangles onto the xy-plane

Terrain complexity is an important terrain feature in digital terrain analysis; however, unlike aspect or slope, terrain complexity is an ambiguous terrain feature that until now has had no optimal index to quantify it. The traditional terrain complexity definitions can be classified as statistical, geometrical, and semantic indices.

More and more onshore wind turbines are built away from flat regions near the coasts in complex (i.e. hilly or mountainous) terrain. The most favourite sites in complex terrain are at elevated positions such as hilltops. But sites in complex terrain also bear risks. In Japan, e.g.
