"Field observations" refers to the act of gathering information or data by directly observing and studying something in its natural environment or real-life setting, rather than in a controlled laboratory or controlled conditions.
Full definition
The unique mathematical technique described in the study
integrates field observations and cloud - resolving models to identify environmental variables important for tropical storm - cloud creation.
Data were gathered
via field observations and interviews with students, teachers, school administrators, and parents.
Several pilot field studies will also be developed in phase one that link modeling advances
with field observations.
The group used
field observations of the burned watershed, spatially explicit data on watershed characteristics, historic rainfall and runoff measurements, and accepted modeling techniques to estimate post-fire changes in hydrologic and sedimentary processes in the Mission Creek watershed.
Because the instructions were designed to encourage tether use, the rate of tether installations was higher than recorded
in field observations.
Based
on field observations, seismic shaking data, GPS measurements, and radar imagery from satellites, Hamling and his colleagues found that surface ruptures in the New Zealand quake were widely separated — in one case by more than 15 kilometers.
Richardson's work complements
field observations by researchers like Harvard ecologist John O'Keefe, who visited the same trees in the Harvard Forest every few days for more than 20 years, starting in the 1990s, to track the opening of buds in springtime and autumn leaf coloration.
Early practice of video - based classroom observation may also help preservice teachers gain more insights from
field observation activities that come later in a teacher education program.
«Our results provide an explanation
for field observations that a population of solitarious locusts is more likely to gregarize in vegetation consisting of compact clumps than where vegetation is spread out evenly but sparsely,» the team writes, noting that once the habitat brings locusts closer together, they are more likely to make contact.
Using published data from the circumpolar arctic, their own
new field observations of Siberian permafrost and thermokarsts, radiocarbon dating, atmospheric modeling, and spatial analyses, the research team studied how thawing permafrost is affecting climate change and greenhouse gas emissions.
Field observations show that when an alluring she - male snake exits its hibernation den, male suitors form a so - called mating ball around it almost immediately.
Sample resumes for this position showcase skills like designed telecommunication infrastructure and critical technology spaces for large commercial clients of major engineering design firms, creating high - quality design documents and drawings using AutoCAD, and
completing field observation reports to ensure high quality standards.
Gerland et al. provided a detailed description of ice conditions in June 2013, including
field observations near Svalbard and in Fram Strait.
In addition to her
own field observations, the remoteness of the area necessitated that she gather sighting reports from fishermen, tour boat captains and others in the area who are interested in whales.
But the question of when and why bioluminescence is produced is complicated and can be answered only with
more field observations.
She believes that only experiments in the laboratory can escape the thicket of alternative interpretations that
confound field observations.
Practicality has been, however, a guiding force throughout Nei's career, from his early agricultural research to his decades - long quest to move evolutionary biology away from
subjective field observations and into objective, math - based analysis on a molecular level.
Audubon identified a similar number, and his copious notes, published separately from The Birds of America,
added field observations vital to the study of nature at the time.
Meteorologists continually
dissect field observations and run computer simulations to isolate the critical variables that contribute to the moment of a tornado's birth.
Davies and Asner employed the Carnegie Airborne Observatory's Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) sensor, which uses reflected laser light to image vegetation in 3 - D, and combined it with three years of highly
detailed field observations of orangutans by co-authors Marc Ancrenaz and Felicity Oram.
But the team's
field observations indicate that up to 60 percent of particles that are airborne after a rainstorm in certain areas, such as grasslands and tilled fields, come from the soil.
My specific project has not yet been formalized, but I am interested in studying the energetics of maternal investment, factors influencing female mate choice, or individual variation in stress physiology, and
coupling field observations with genetic / endocrinological / microbial analyses.
In a modern context I quantify to what degree far -
field observations constrain ocean diagnostics of interest, such as the subsurface temperature at Greenland's outlet glaciers.
Data were collected from the participants» discussion worksheets and lesson plans, along with associated artifacts and the researchers»
field observation notes.
Based on over 24 years of
practical field observations and experience, Bark Busters Dog Safety Program ™ has delivered proven results in employee safety for service and delivery companies and government agencies.
Gerland et al. provided a detailed description of ice conditions in April / May 2013 including
spring field observations near Svalbard.
Over the sea
ice field the observations include: sea ice freeboard height and hence sea ice thickness from radar altimetry; sea ice surface temperature and sea ice drift from respectively infrared radiometer and imaging spectrometer under cloud free conditions.
