Verticalprofiles of the wind vector and the turbulent coefficient (eddy viscosity) are discussed. Further empirically determined (observed) verticalprofiles (especially of the turbulent coefficient) are compared with corresponding vertical
Seismic data have been collected along 4 dense wide-aperture profiles, that run SW-NE for a total length of ~6 km in the hangingwall of the Paganica-S. Demetrio Fault, source of the 6th April 2009 L’Aquila normal-faulting earthquake. Seismic
. In the Paganica area, Vp images unravel large steps in the substratum related to 2 unreported SW-dipping buried strands, synthetic to the Paganica Fault, with ~250 m associated total vertical throw. This finding has important implications on the long-term history
of the Paganica- S. Demetrio Fault system, whose total vertical displacement has been previously underestimated. An additional ~250 m vertical offset along this complex Quaternary extensional structure should therefore be considered. - (NF)

Verticalprofiles of the horizontal mass flux of blown sand are investigated experimentally using a passive vertical array in a wind tunnel. This investigation is complemented by the measurements of the longitudinal profiles of mass flux using
a horizontal sand trap. The experiments were conducted with 2 test sands and 5 different stream velocities. A simple equation applicable for both the vertical and the longitudinal sand mass flux variations is introduced and the parameters are estimated from

In this paper, attention is focused on the concavity of the stream profile. On this basis, the AA. tried to determine the evolution of some Eastern Carpathian rivers of Romania and thus estimate their long-term evolutionary tendencies
. They demonstrate that age has no influence on the form of the longitudinal profiles for the rivers on the exterior side of the Carpathians. This is because tectonic uplift was important, and this phenomenon is still present today.
Windprofile in der unteren Troposphäre nach Feinauswertung primärer Radiosondendaten. (Wind profiles in the lower troposphere obtained from a precision evaluation of primary radiosonde data)
This paper is concerned with the estimation of the errors of vertical wind profiles which are based on a rather detailed evaluation of routine radiosonde ascents. Errors occuring in determining wind direction, wind speed, and height are discussed

the calculation fit quite closely to actual valley profiles, which demonstrate the validity of the equation.

The Hack SL form of the long profile, which describes a straight line on a log-normal plot of elevation (normal) versus distance (logarithmic), is the equilibrium long profile form that has been most widely used in such studies. The AA. show
that the SL form is a special case of a more general form of the equilibrium long profile (here called the DS form) that can be derived from the power relationship between stream discharge and downstream distance, and the dependence of stream incision
on stream power. The DS form provides a better fit than the SL form to river long profiles in an intraplate setting in southeastern Australia experiencing low rate of denudation and mild surface uplift.

Here, the AA. use the saltation-abrasion model to generate a large suite of predicted steady-state river profiles, in order to evaluate the relative influence of each of the key variables (discharge, grain size, sediment supply, rock uplift rate
and rock strength) in controlling profile concavity and profile relief. They conclude by considering some of the possible covariation of these key variables, in particular the likely dependence of grain size on both rock uplift rate and rock strength.

Vertical porosity profile of a clay-rich marsh soil
The vertical distribution of porosity throughout a clay-rich marsh soil profile was studied in a grassland field with samples taken from the soil surface characterized by water contents near their shrinkage limit down to 2.00 m deep saturated
of the Flandrian sediment in the development of the structural profiles of marsh soils.

Relationships between riverbed morphology, concavity, rock type and rock uplift rate are examined to independently unravel the contribution of along-strike variations in lithology and rates of vertical deformation to the topographic relief
of the Oregon coastal mountains. Lithologic control on river profile form is reflected by convexities and knickpoints in a number of longitudinal profiles and by general trends of concavity as a function of lithology. A key result from this analysis
is that the rock resistance signal seen in hillslopes is a key control, and more important than rates of rock uplift in some cases, on the river profile and topographic relief.
