Rapid estimation of the topographic disturbance to superficial thermal gradients

Reviews of Geophysics, 1968
The Jeffreys‐Bullard theory of the topographic correction to geothermal gradients cannot be applied with confidence if the height of the relief is large relative to the horizontal distance and depth of the measurement points. It cannot be generally applied to shallow probe measurements in the ocean bottom if bold relief occurs on a scale exceeding a ...

Following or Against Topographic Wettability Gradient: Movements of Droplets on a Micropatterned Surface

Langmuir, 2017
Two kinds of possible movements of droplets (i.e., following or against the topographic wettability gradient) on a micropatterned surface are investigated by using a particle-based method: many-body dissipative particle dynamics (MDPD). The displacement along the wettability gradient and contact angles on both sides of the droplet are analyzed.

Legumes mitigate ecological consequences of a topographic gradient in a northern Mongolian steppe

Oecologia, 2011
Topography should create spatial variation in water and nutrients and play an especially important role in the ecology of water-limited systems. We use stable isotopes to discern how plants respond both to ecological gradients associated with elevation and to neighboring legumes on a south-facing slope in the semi-arid, historically grazed steppe of ...

Rainfall intensity gradients in topographical areas

1994
This article is a brief summary of the essential work done within the framework of the TPG program (rainfall and relief). Additional details can be found in Isabelle Desurosne's thesis (Université Louis Pasteur, Institut de Mécanique des Fluides de Strasbourg, 18-09-1992) and in the program's final report (January 1993).

Soil Animals in Latitudinal and Topographical Gradients of Mediterranean Ecosystems

1973
Particularly from a structural viewpoint, the litter-soil subsystem in regions having a mediterranean climate is far less well known than the vegetation or the animal populations living in the ground surface and on plants. Almost all the data on community convergences in mediterranean climates pertain to vegetation.

Combining Gravity and Topographic Data for Local Gradient Modeling

2008
The local modeling of gravity gradients supports gradiometry systems by predicting observables whose residuals then yield new geophysical and geodetic information in the survey area. Gradients are usually modeled using local digital terrain elevation data (DTED).
