Most lakes are found at altitudes of less than 5, 000 m, with the size of the lakes diminishing with altitude.

These engines are much more powerful than a reciprocating engine for a given size or weight and are comparatively quiet and work well at higher altitude.

Due to the size of their ears, they can also sense sudden atmospheric and altitude changes within a starship where most other species would not have noticed the changes ( DS9: " Starship Down ").

Other factors affecting a particular landing might include: the plane size, wind, weight, runway length, obstacles, ground effects, weather, runway altitude, air temperature, air pressure, air traffic control, visibility, avionics and the overall situation.

The size of particles together with the altitude they are carried to, determines the length of their stay in the atmosphere, as larger particles are subject to dry precipitation.

As for height, the Hawfinch is present in any altitude up to that which is limited by the size of the trees.

The size of amphipods is limited by the availability of dissolved oxygen, such that the amphipods in Lake Titicaca at an altitude of can only grow up to, compared to lengths of in Lake Baikal at.

" The presence of beaver dams has been shown to either increase the number of fish, their size, or both, in a study of brook, rainbow and brown trout in nearby Sagehen Creek, which flows into the Little Truckee River at an altitude of and is a stream typical of the eastern slope of the northern Sierra Nevada.

The site of Jarmo is approximately three to four acres ( 12, 000 to 16, 000 m² ) in size and lies at an altitude of 800 meters above sea level in a belt of oak and pistachio woodlands.

In addition to aerodynamic considerations, altitude and flight duration are dependent upon the volume of water, the initial pressure, the rocket nozzle's size, and the unloaded weight of the rocket.

The size of the protected volume depends on the altitude, speed, and heading of the aircraft involved in the encounter.

The tree line is covered predominantly with coniferous species such as European Black Pine, Scots Pine, Macedonian Pine, Bosnian Pine, Spruce, Bulgarian Fir and reaches approximately altitude of 2, 000 m. Up to 2, 500 m is the subalpine line, dominated by Mountain Pine and Juniper whose size decrease as the altitude rises.

The findings suggest that the form of the particle size distribution changes with altitude, becoming a steeper function of particle radius at higher altitudes.

It is 165 km² in size and 350 kilometers from Nairobi and ranges in altitude from 800 to 1230m above sea level.

Non-afterburning engines have nozzles of a fixed size because variable geometry nozzles are expensive and the change in atmospheric pressure with changing altitude has little effect on engine aerodynamics.

The presence of beaver dams has also been shown to either increase the number of fish, their size, or both, in a study of brook trout ( Salvelinus fontinalis ), rainbow trout ( Oncorhynchus mykiss ) and brown trout ( Salmo trutta ) in Sagehen Creek, which flows into the Little Truckee River at an altitude of 5, 800 feet in the northern Sierra Nevada.

* A sailplane at 90, 000 feet altitude flies in approximately the same aerodynamic regime -- Mach and Reynolds numbers -- to be experienced by a moderate size aircraft flying near the surface of Mars.

Grading is the process of categorizing coffee beans on the basis of various criteria such as size of the bean, where and at what altitude it was grown, how it was prepared and picked, and how good it tastes, or its cup quality.

Retardant is dropped in a single " salvo " or one or more " trails ", the size of which is determined by the wind and the volume, speed and altitude of the airtanker ( usually no less than 200 feet above the drop zone ).

Le Muids ( altitude: ) is a small village which, due to its small size and proximity to Arzier ( altitude: about ) is part of the same municipality as its larger neighbor.

At launch the balloon rose and expanded in size until an internal cord tightened, releasing some gas and preventing further increase in altitude beyond 25, 000 feet ( 7620 m ); the balloon would begin a slow descent.

* Footprint size: for a nominal spacecraft altitude of 833 km, 48 km at nadir ( AMSU-A ), 16 km at nadir ( AMSU-B ).

The benefit of altitude providing range has meant a significant focus on airborne radar technologies.

The influence of the Mediterranean Sea is abated by the altitude and, although the precipitation is even higher than it is along the coast, the range of temperatures is wider and the winters are more severe.

In computer vision the effect is used for computer stereo vision, and there is a device called a parallax rangefinder that uses it to find range, and in some variations also altitude to a target.

Three main long-distance footpaths run the length of the mountain range ; the GR 10 across the northern slopes, the GR 11 across the southern slopes, and the HRP which traverses peaks and ridges along a high altitude route.

It lies at an altitude of about 1, 350 m ( 4, 500 ft ) above sea level, in a warm, sheltered, fertile valley, surrounded by the hills of the Magaliesberg range.

Radar is an object-detection system which uses radio waves to determine the range, altitude, direction, or speed of objects.

Vertical incident sounding uses a collocated transmitter and receiver and involves directing a range of frequencies vertically to the ionosphere and measuring the values of the reflected returned signals to determine the effective ionosphere layer altitude.

An example of slant range is the distance to an aircraft flying at high altitude with respect to that of the radar antenna.

The slant range ( 1 ) is the hypotenuse of the triangle represented by the altitude of the aircraft and the distance between the radar antenna and the aircraft's ground track ( point ( 3 ) on the earth directly below the aircraft ).

In fact, one of the most striking features of the Atlas to geologists is the relative small amount of crustal thickening and tectonic shortening despite the important altitude of the mountain range.

Two additional genera usually form in the low altitude range, but may be based at higher levels under conditions of very low humidity.

In temperate regions, they range in altitude from to — a variation in contrast to low-étage clouds, which do not appreciably change altitude with latitude.

They are given the prefix " cirro -", but this refers more to their altitude range than their physical structure.

These were respectively stratocumuliform and stratiform cloud genera of a newly defined middle height range above stratocumulus and stratus but below cirrocumulus and cirrostratus, with free convective cumulus and non-convective nimbus occupying more than one altitude range as clouds with vertical extent.

Upward-growing free convective clouds have low to middle bases that form anywhere from near surface to about in temperate climates, and often much higher in arid regions, even to the very top of the middle altitude range of the troposphere.

Nimbostratus ( Ns ) is a non-convective genus that normally forms from middle-altitude altostratus and achieves vertical extent as it thickens during precipitation with the base subsiding into the low altitude range.

Downward-growing nimbostratus is then classified as low to denote it's normal base height range, or as middle, based on the altitude range at which it normally forms.

However, because these latter types are not always restricted by height range, some species can be common to several genera that are differentiated mainly by altitude.

Some cloud varieties are not restricted to a specific altitude range or physical structure, and can therefore be common to more than one genus or species.

The international synoptic code ( or SYNOP ) provides for reporting the three basic altitude ranges for tropospheric clouds, but makes no special provision for multi-level clouds that can occupy more than one altitude range at a particular time.
