Regional science
Regional Science is a field of geography that emerged in the 1950s to provide a stronger analytical and quantitative base to research.
Regional Supply and Demand
The supply and demand for commodities and factors by region and sector are the core data set for the virtual model - that is they provide the information from which the local models are extracted as required.
region n=n+1000 w=w-500
The n=value may also be specified as a function of its current value: n=n+value increases the current northing, while n=n-value decreases it. This is also true for s=value, e=value, and w=value.

A region of the earth's atmosphere where ionization caused by incoming solar radiation affects the transmission of GPS radio waves. It extends from a height of 50 kilometers (30 miles) to 400 kilometers (250 miles) above the surface.
It depends on the region. In Canada's Rocky Mountains there are greater variations in the earths' gravity field and fewer gravity measurements available.

As an example, the changes in vegetation vigor through a growing season can be animated to determine when drought was most extensive in a particular region.
Choropleth A choropleth map portrays a statistical surface with area symbols (colours), which represent the collection regions, inferring uniformity within these units e.g. counties, provinces, forest polygons.
be/ centroid The term given to the center of an area, region, or polygon. In the case of irregularly shaped polygons, the centroid is derived mathematically and is weighted to approximate a sort of `center of gravity.
Feature classes represented as geographic features include points, arcs, nodes, route-systems, routes, sections, polygons, and regions. They can also store annotations, dimensions, x, y, z coordinates, and addresses.
