  2. Stereographic projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereographic_projection

    In this context the stereographic projection is often referred to as the equal-angle lower-hemisphere projection. The equal-area lower-hemisphere projection defined by the Lambert azimuthal equal-area projection is also used, especially when the plot is to be subjected to subsequent statistical analysis such as density contouring .

  3. Lambert azimuthal equal-area projection - Wikipedia

    The hemisphere can then be plotted as a disk of radius √ 2 using the Lambert azimuthal projection. Thus the Lambert azimuthal projection lets us plot directions as points in a disk. Due to the equal-area property of the projection, one can integrate over regions of the real projective plane (the space of directions) by integrating over the ...

  4. Schmidt net - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schmidt_net

    Schmidt net, used for making plots of the Lambert azimuthal projection. The Schmidt net is a manual drafting method for the Lambert azimuthal equal-area projection using graph paper. It results in one lateral hemisphere of the Earth with the grid of parallels and meridians. The method is common in geoscience.

  5. Focal mechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Focal_mechanism

    The data for an earthquake is plotted using a lower-hemisphere stereographic projection. The azimuth and take-off angle are used to plot the position of an individual seismic record. The take-off angle is the angle from the vertical of a seismic ray as it emerges from the earthquake focus.

  7. 3-sphere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3-sphere

    We take the "temperature" to be zero along the gluing 2-sphere and let one of the 3-balls be "hot" and let the other 3-ball be "cold". The "hot" 3-ball could be thought of as the "upper hemisphere" and the "cold" 3-ball could be thought of as the "lower hemisphere". The temperature is highest/lowest at the centers of the two 3-balls.

  8. Association fiber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_fiber

    Association fibers are axons (nerve fibers) that connect cortical areas within the same cerebral hemisphere. [1]In human neuroanatomy, axons within the brain, can be categorized on the basis of their course and connections as association fibers, projection fibers, and commissural fibers. [1]

  9. Horizontal coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horizontal_coordinate_system

    This celestial coordinate system divides the sky into two hemispheres: The upper hemisphere, where objects are above the horizon and are visible, and the lower hemisphere, where objects are below the horizon and cannot be seen, since the Earth obstructs views of them.
