hypsometric

Venus if it were devoid of atmosphere, and the corresponding hypsometric distribution.

The quantitative area distribution of Azerbaijan according to the hypsometric levels is as following:

Physical maps usually show differences in elevation through hypsometric tints, or variations in color.

Hypsometric map shows the macro-relief features on a planetary surface (for maps produced in Russia).

A hypsometric curve is an empirical cumulative distribution function of elevations in a catchment.

Differences in hypsometric curves between landscapes arise because the geomorphic processes that shape the landscape may be different.

His greatest achievement was a hypsometric map of the European part of Russia published in 1889.

More recent work (2000-2006), added a hypsometric perspective, which provides an alternate way of examining ecological patterns on the coastal landscape.

The geopotential thickness of an atmospheric layer is described by the hypsometric equation:

The hypsometric equation is expressed as:

Some cartographers have suggested that hypsometric tints are often used as decoration, rather than for informational purposes:

Then come the highly detailed Landscape Maps, which combine shaded relief and hypsometric tints or land use imagery.

Hypsometric marks within the Caucasus region vary in the range from about -28m at the Caspian Sea shoreline up to 4466m, (Bazardyuzi peak).

A clearer indication that there is no global system of Plate Tectonics is the hypsometric distribution of Venus, also shown in Figure 4.5.

It is often considered to include the graphic representation of the landform on a map by a variety of techniques, including contour lines, hypsometric tints, and relief shading.

Cold cyclones are stronger aloft than at the Earth's surface, or stronger in areas of the troposphere with lower pressures, per the thermal wind relationship and the hypsometric equation.

The non-dimensional hypsometric curve provides hydrologist and geomorphologist with a way to assess the similarity of watersheds - and is one of several characteristics used for doing so.

In altimetry with the International Standard Atmosphere the hypsometric equation is used to compute pressure at a given height in isothermal layers in the upper and lower stratosphere.

The hypsometric equation, also known as the thickness equation, relates an atmospheric pressure ratio to the equivalent thickness of an atmospheric layer under the assumptions of constant temperature and gravity.

Although the global hypsometric curve provides a valuable statistical summary of the Earth's relief as a whole it is also necessary to identify the major components of global morphology that give rise to the curve (Fig. 2.4).

The hypsometric curve may also be shown as a continuous function and graphically displayed as an x-y plot with elevation on the vertical, y-axis and area above the corresponding elevation on the horizontal or x-axis.

The hypsometric equation dictates that colder atmospheres have less room between pressure surfaces, which corresponds to the concept of lower atmospheric thickness, and the thermal wind relation indicates that in this situation, the wind increases with height.

When contours are used with hypsometric tints on a small-scale map that includes mountains and flatter low-lying areas, it is common to have smaller intervals at lower elevations so that detail is shown in all areas.

Another familiar example of pseudo color is the encoding of elevation using hypsometric tints in physical relief maps, where negative values (below sea level) are usually represented by shades of blue, and positive values by greens and browns.
