Another variation of the stacked bar chart is the percentage stacked bar chart. In this type of chart, the length or height of each bar is the same, but the sub-groups or sections are represented as percentages of the bar instead of absolute values.

Le diagramme à barres empilées à 100 % est utilisé pour illustrer le rapport entre les sous-catégories. Il est semblable au diagramme à barres empilées, mais présente la valeur relative de chaque catégorie plutôt que la valeur absolue.

Record 3 2017-09-01

English

Subject field(s)
  • Meteorology
  • Cartography
CONT

Although they look similar when plotted on a weather chart, there is a distinct difference between isobars and isohypses. An isobar connects points of equal barometric pressure normalized to sea level while an isohypse connects points of equal geopotential height. Isohypses are also called height contours.

CONT

Geopotential height approximates the actual height of a pressure surface above mean sea-level. Therefore, a geopotential height observation represents the height of the pressure surface on which the observation was taken. A line drawn on a weather map connecting points of equal height (in meters) is called a height contour.

Key term(s)
  • isohyps

French

Domaine(s)
  • Météorologie
  • Cartographie
DEF

Ligne qui relie des points de même hauteur géopotentielle.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)

DEF

Línea que une puntos de igual altura geopotencial en una superficie dada; por lo general es una superficie isobárica.

Record 5 2015-04-13

English

Subject field(s)
  • Statistical Graphs and Diagrams
DEF

A chart utilizing a series of vertical bars to depict data.

CONT

The column or vertical bar chart's primary purpose is to depict numerical values of a given item over a period of time... These values are represented by the height of the columns. This type of chart accents the individual dates of the plottings rather than the trend. [The columns] should all be the same width...

OBS

In technical sense, a chart with vertical bars is properly described as a column chart, while a chart with horizontal bars is known as a bar chart.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Diagrammes et graphiques (Statistique)
DEF

Graphique dans lequel les données sont représentées par des bandes verticales.

CONT

Les diagrammes à colonnes [...] consistent en plusieurs rectangles également espacés, de même largeur, et dont les bases sont placées sur une même horizontale. Les hauteurs de ces rectangles sont proportionnelles aux grandeurs représentées.

OBS

L'utilisation de la représentation graphique en colonnes ou en tuyaux d'orgue évite [le] risque de confusion puisque la largeur de colonne coïncide avec la durée de la période à laquelle elle correspond [...]. Il est d'ailleurs plus logique de signifier l'activité pendant une certaine durée par un symbole graphique dont la largeur lui correspond : le point [...] évoque davantage le simple résultat d'une mesure «instantanée».

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Diagramas y gráficos estadísticos
DEF

Histograma o representación gráfica en la que los datos se representan por columnas de altura proporcional a su valor.

The Satellite Cloud Information Chart covering the Far East area was developed for supporting aviation weather forecast. The chart consists of the information on cloud top height and Cumulonimbus(Cb) as well as the atmospheric information at upper troposphere. The chart is automatically produced at MSC every hour and is disseminated to the domestic aviation wheather service centers of the Japonese Meteorological Agency.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Silviculture
  • Forestry Operations
CONT

If shade requirements are immediate, give careful attention to the growth-rate designation in the chart. A fast-growing tree increases in height by 3 or more feet per year and provides shade benefits within 5 years. Most fast-growing trees, however, are both short lived and weak wooded, two undesirable characteristics. In such cases, it may be desirable to plant both a small, rapidly growing tree and a moderate or slow-growing species nearby. The fast-growing tree could then be removed once the other species provides shade benefits.

Body condition score : an assessment of the animal' s weight for age and weight for height ratios, and its relative proportions of muscle and fat. The assessment is made by eye, comparing the beast under examination with a stereotyped animal on a chart. The estimate is made on the basis of amount of tissue cover between the points of the hip, over the transverse processes of the lumbar vertebrae, the cover over the ribs and the pin bones below the tail.
