Les graphiques à coordonnées polaires. Ce sont ceux où les axes de référence sont d'une part le rayon gradué d'un cercle et d'autre part le rayon obtenu en faisant pivoter le rayon d'origine d'un certain angle. Le recours à des graphiques à coordonnées polaires est souhaitable pour représenter l'évolution d'un mouvement saisonnier (...) Il sert également à représenter une évolution intra-annuelle en l'absence de toute préoccupation d'étude d'un mouvement saisonnier. On obtient une figure en forme de spirale. 7, record 1, French, - graphique%20%C3%A0%20coordonn%C3%A9es%20polaires

A very informal title, the term zigzag graph is descriptive(...) It is also commonly known as a slope-curve chart(...) A simple zigzag [or sawtooth] curve is made by drawing a line directly from each plotted point to the next. This curve suggests that changes from point to point are gradual or continuous and it is usually the best way to show that data have "carryover" from one time to the next. 1, record 2, English, - zigzag%20graph

The primary technique used for checking the inconsistency of precipitation data has been a double mass analysis. In this technique the accumulation at a given station is plotted against the average accumulation for a group of stations. When the number of stations in the group is reasonably large, the accumulation of the group average should be quite stable. Thus, if there is a change in the relationship between a single station and the group at some point in time, it is likely that there has been a change in the precipitation measured at that station. This deviation can be removed by multiplying a portion of the record at that station by a factor that will produce a generally straight line relationship. 2, record 6, English, - double%2Dmass%20analysis

The "wetted perimeter method" will be used for determination of minimum flows. This assumes that trout carrying capacity of the stream is proportional to food production, which in turn is proportional to the wetted perimeter of riffle and other food producing areas.

The wetted perimeter method was selected... to establish instream flow protection levels.... The wetted perimeter method uses field measurements or hydraulic modeling to determine how the wetted perimeter of a study stream changes with flow. Wetted perimeter generally increases rapidly with flow for flows less than some amount, and then increases less rapidly for higher flows. Wetted perimeter is plotted versus flow, and the flow value at the change in slope of the curve(inflection point) is assumed to be the amount of flow needed to protect the biota. 3, record 8, English, - wetted%20perimeter%20method
