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.

Terrain complexity and reduction of topographic data
Journal of Geographical Systems, 1999Digital terrain data are useful for a variety of applications in mapping and spatial analysis. Most available terrain data are organized in a raster format, among them being the most extensively-used Digital Elevation Models (DEM) of the U.S. Geological Survey.

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.

Atmospheric deposition to watersheds in complex terrain
Hydrological Processes, 1997Single collection stations for wet or bulk deposition are generally inadequate to describe atmospheric inputs to watersheds in complex terrain. Atmospheric deposition is delivered by wet, dry and cloud deposition processes, and these processes are controlled by a wide range of landscape features, including canopy type and structure, topographic ...

WIND CHARACTERISTICS OVER COMPLEX TERRAIN
Journal of Wind Engineering and Industrial Aerodynamics, 1983Abstract Spatial distributions of wind characteristics over a mountain range are studied. Field observations of wind were made along a test power transmission line of about 700m length on a ridge. The mean wind speed distribution measured every 50m along this line is highly correlated with the local topography.

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

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,
