Hydro-flattening is the process of creating a lidar [light detection and ranging]-derived DEM [digital elevation model] in which water surfaces appear and behave as they would in traditional topographic DEMs created from photogrammetric digital terrain models (DTMs). 5, record 1, English, - hydrological%20flattening
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
[A] digital elevation model (DEM) or triangulated irregular network (TIN) derived from LiDAR [light detection and ranging] data will show unpleasant and unnatural water surface due to the fact that LiDAR data does not provide natural breaklines and the elevations of water points is not uniform. Furthermore, hydrologic connectivity in water surfaces is necessary to ensure that the elevation of water surface decreases from upstream (U/S) to downstream (D/S). Therefore, the LiDAR data is hydro-flattened so that water bodies such as streams, rivers, and long reservoirs show an elevation change along their length, whereas ponds, lakes, or other cartographically polygonal water surfaces show a static water surface, consistent with their natural behavior and the surrounding topography ... 6, record 1, English, - hydrological%20flattening

Rhizoctonia canker, caused by the fungus Rhizoctonia solani, is a fairly common problem on potato production in Kansas. The disease may occur as a surface blemish on the tubers or more seriously as a disease on new sprouts from seed pieces. Affected tubers may be pitted or cracked, but commonly they only show flat irregular lumps or specks(similar to small clumps of soil) on the skin which will not wash off. 3, record 2, English, - black%20scurf

Le cumulus humilis est le plus petit des cumulus (en latin, humilis signifie humble). Il se forme lorsque la convection est faible. Sa faible hauteur et sa base aplatie sont des signes de beau temps. La hauteur de la base correspond au niveau de condensation. C'est-à-dire que l'air est relativement sec en-deçà de cette hauteur et est saturé au-delà.

A type of chorismite consisting of coarsely lenticular, augenlike, boulderlike, or nodular elements in a crystalline groundmass. Lenticular varieties are said to show flaser development when strands of the groundmass cling closely to the lenses. When the lenses are flat and disk-like, the term flatschig is used in German texts. The mineral aggregates(elements) embedded in the groundmass may also exhibit spindle-shaped or cylinderlike forms. 1, record 16, English, - ophthalmite
