Diagram illustrating interaction1 of zones of relative loss and gain of "modal wave" with distal and proximal admixtures of normal input curve. Ruled areas are defined by initial rectangular distribution and its subsequent modification by progressive sorting. Horizontally ruled sector is zone of relative sand gain; vertically ruled areas are forward and rear sectors of sand loss. The normal curve is the weighting distribution us
. Collected reprints / Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratories [and] Pacific Oceanographic Laboratories. Oceanography Figure 88. Diagram illustrating interaction1 of zones of relative loss and gain of "modal wave" with distal and proximal admixtures of normal input curve. Ruled areas are defined by initial rectangular distribution and its subsequent modification by progressive sorting. Horizontally ruled sector is zone of relative sand gain; vertically ruled areas are forward and rear sectors of sand loss. The normal curve is the weighting distribution used in the experiment, and is invariant from station to station. Numbers are values of moment skewness for the resultant distribution. Thus as the modal wave progresses through the normal input curve its 3 zones interact with the 4 curve segments so that the distribution's "tails" become more pronounced first on one side then on the other. Small-scale fluctuations must simultaneously occur in the other higher moment parameters, since the changes in curve shape also effect the spread of curve area about the mean (standard deviation), and the hollowness of the sides of the curve (kurtosis). 886.
