Curvature sensor for the measurement of the static corneal topography and the dynamic tear film topography in the human eye [PDF]
, 2005 A system to measure the topography of the first optical surface of the human eye noninvasively by using a curvature sensor is described. The static corneal topography and the dynamic topography of the tear film can both be measured, and the topographies ...

Statistical representation of mountain shading [PDF]
, 2004 International audienceShadows cast by the mountains themselves have a strong influence on the surface energy balance of mountainous regions. If the influence of shadows is to be included on sub-grid scales in a surface energy balance model, a statistical

Effects of Topography on Seismic-Wave Propagation: An Example from Northern Taiwan [PDF]
, 2009 Topography influences ground motion and, in general, increases the amplitude of shaking at mountain tops and ridges, whereas valleys have reduced ground motions, as is observed from data recorded during and after real earthquakes and from numerical ...

On the More Complex Wavelength Dependency of Airy Isostasy in Icy Shells of Ocean Worlds
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 The topography of ocean worlds is often used to infer ice shell thicknesses by assuming topography is compensated by a basal root. We systematically test the stability of isostatically compensated topography in ice shells. At short horizontal wavelengths,

Imaging Pulsed Laser Deposition oxide growth by in-situ Atomic Force Microscopy [PDF]
, 2017 To visualize the topography of thin oxide films during growth, thereby enabling to study its growth behavior quasi real-time, we have designed and integrated an atomic force microscope (AFM) in a pulsed laser deposition (PLD) vacuum setup.
