How to determine flow of a watershed
half-circles, running along the surface of the Earth from pole to pole
Longitude
"named" things (type of data)
Nominal
the smallest piece of experimental material which an experimental treatment is applied
Experimental unit
refers to the transition directly from solid to gas without passing through the liquid state
Sublimation
the plant can no longer extract any more water from the soil
Wilting point
mathematical model that approximates the shape of the Earth
Datum
a subset of a statistical population in which each
member of the subset has an equal probability of being chose
simple random sample
the largest piece of experimental material that is contained within an experimental unit
Sampling unit
860 mile diameter
All of earths water
The soil is wet and contains all the water it can hold against gravity
Field capacity
Magnetic N moves {blank} km per year
55-60
A population is subdivided into subpopulations
of known sizes
Stratification
a measure of the same dependent variable on the same observational unit over at temporal or spatial dimension
repeated measure
10:1 at 30 F, 50:1 at -10F
Snow water depth ratio
Input exceeds infiltration rate
Hortonian overland flow
a series of transformations which convert the location of points on a curved surface to locations on a flat plane
Projection
degree of agreement within a set of
measurements
Precision
