banded structure

When seen on a weather radar, the long narrow shape is called a banded structure.

The origins of the banded structure and jets are not well understood, though two models exist.

The banded structure in Saturn's atmosphere is similar to Jupiter's.

Its crystals are doubly refracting, and exhibit a banded structure in polarized light.

When noted on weather radar imagery, this precipitation elongation is referred to as banded structure.

In addition to large-scale banded structure, Voyager 2 observed ten small bright clouds, most lying several degrees to the north from the collar.

The origin of Jupiter's banded structure is not completely clear, though it may be similar to that driving the Earth's Hadley cells.

Sumerian gem-cutters also took advantage to a limited degree of another way of exploiting the banded structure of onyx.

John William Dawson (1865) described the banded structures of coarsely crystalline calcite and serpentine as a gigantic Foraminifera, making it the oldest known fossil.

Peering into the night sky through his home telescope, Devadas has authored a host of observational reports, which include, "Banded structure of Venusian clouds", "Origin of lunar ray deposits on the surface of the Moon" and "Surface structure of Mars".

There was no colour at the low level of illumination - except for a hint of red here and there - but the banded structure of the clouds was very distinct, and he could see the edge of a small cyclonic storm looking like an oval island covered with snow.

The banded structure which these rocks commonly present in the field is only in a small measure due to plastic deformation, but is to a large extent original, and has been produced by flow in a viscous crystallizing intrusive magma, together with differentiation or segregation of the mass into bands of different chemical and mineralogical composition.
