1. Drainage Basin Hydrology | 流域水文学
P = Q + E + ΔS
The fundamental water balance equation expresses the relationship between precipitation (P), runoff (Q), evapotranspiration (E) and the change in basin storage (ΔS) over a given time period. It assumes a closed system where inputs equal outputs plus any change in storage.
基础水平衡方程表达了给定时间段内降水量 (P)、径流量 (Q)、蒸发蒸腾量 (E) 和流域储水量变化 (ΔS) 之间的关系。该方程假设流域为闭合系统，输入量等于输出量加上储水量的变化。
Runoff Coefficient = Q / P
The runoff coefficient reveals the proportion of precipitation that becomes streamflow. Values close to 1 indicate high runoff generation typical of urban surfaces, whereas low values suggest high infiltration and storage, as in forested basins.
径流系数表示降水转化为河道径流的比例。系数接近 1 表明产流能力强，常见于城市地表；而低值则意味着入渗和储水比例高，如森林流域。
2. Stream Flow Measurement | 河流流量测量
Q = A × V
Stream discharge (Q) is calculated by multiplying the cross-sectional area (A) of the channel by the mean flow velocity (V). Area is typically obtained by sounding across the channel, while velocity is measured using a flow meter or float method.
河流流量 (Q) 等于河道横截面积 (A) 乘以平均流速 (V)。面积通常通过河道测深获得，流速则使用流速仪或浮标法测定。
V = D / T
Using the float method, surface velocity is estimated by recording the time (T) taken for a float to travel a known distance (D). A correction factor (commonly 0.85 for rough beds) is then applied to convert surface velocity to mean velocity.
采用浮标法时，记录浮标通过已知距离 (D) 所用的时间 (T) 以估算表面流速。随后通常乘以校正系数（粗糙河床常用 0.85）将表面流速转换为平均流速。
3. Population Change Equations | 人口变化方程
ΔP = (B − D) + (I − E)
Total population change (ΔP) comprises natural change (births B minus deaths D) and net migration (immigration I minus emigration E). This demographic accounting equation is the foundation of all population projections.
人口总量变化 (ΔP) 由自然变动（出生 B 减死亡 D）和净迁移（迁入 I 减迁出 E）两部分组成。这一人口核算方程是所有人口预测的基础。
CBR = (B / P) × 1000
The Crude Birth Rate (CBR) expresses the number of live births per 1000 people in a mid-year population. It provides a simple measure of fertility but is not age-standardised.
粗出生率 (CBR) 表示每年每千名年中人口中活产婴儿的数量。该指标提供了简单的生育率度量，但未进行年龄标准化。
CDR = (D / P) × 1000
Similarly, the Crude Death Rate (CDR) records deaths per 1000 population per year. Like CBR, it is influenced by the age structure of the population.
类似地，粗死亡率 (CDR) 记录每年每千名人口中的死亡人数。与粗出生率相同，它同样受人口年龄结构的影响。
RNI = ((B − D) / P) × 1000
The Rate of Natural Increase (RNI) is the difference between the CBR and CDR. It can also be expressed as a percentage by dividing by 10. RNI excludes migration, making it ideal for analysing demographic transition stages.
自然增长率 (RNI) 是粗出生率与粗死亡率之差。也可除以 10 转换为百分比。RNI 排除了迁移影响，非常适合分析人口转型阶段。
4. Migration Indicators | 迁移指标
Net Migration = I − E
Net migration quantifies the difference between the number of in-migrants (I) and out-migrants (E) in a given area and time period. A positive value indicates net in-migration, while a negative value indicates net out-migration.
净迁移量等于给定区域和时期内迁入人口 (I) 与迁出人口 (E) 之差。正值表示净迁入，负值表示净迁出。
Net Migration Rate = ((I − E) / P) × 1000
To compare across regions of different sizes, net migration is standardised by the total mid-year population (P) and expressed per 1000 inhabitants. This rate is crucial for understanding population redistribution patterns.
为在不同规模地区间进行比较，净迁移量需用年中总人口 (P) 进行标准化，并表示为每千居民中的人数。该比率对于理解人口再分布格局至关重要。
5. Urbanisation & Settlement Measures | 城市化与聚落测度
Urbanisation Level = (U / P) × 100
The level of urbanisation is the percentage of a country’s total population (P) living in areas classified as urban (U). This simple ratio is fundamental to tracking global urban transition trends.
城市化水平是指被划定为城市地区的居民 (U) 占国家总人口 (P) 的百分比。这一简单比率是跟踪全球城市转型趋势的基本工具。
Urban Growth Rate = ((U₂ − U₁) / U₁) × 100
The urban growth rate measures the percentage change in the urban population over a given period. It can be driven by natural increase within cities, rural-to-urban migration, or reclassification of rural areas.
城市增长率衡量给定时期内城市人口的百分比变化。其驱动因素包括城市内部的自然增长、乡城迁移以及农村地区的重新分类。
Primacy Ratio = P₁ / P₂
The primacy ratio is calculated by dividing the population of the largest city (P₁) by that of the second largest city (P₂) in the same country. A ratio above 2 typically indicates a primate city distribution.
首位度指数等于同一国家最大城市的人口 (P₁) 除以第二大城市人口 (P₂)。比值大于 2 通常表明存在首位城市分布格局。
6. Climate & Weather Formulas | 气候与天气公式
Environmental Lapse Rate = −ΔT / ΔZ
The environmental lapse rate describes the actual decrease in air temperature with altitude in the troposphere at a specific time and place. It averages about 6.5 °C per 1000 m but varies with atmospheric conditions.
环境气温递减率描述了对流层中特定时间和地点的气温随海拔的实际递减情况。该值平均约为每升高 1000 米下降 6.5 °C，但会因大气状况而变化。
Precipitation Intensity = Total Precipitation / Duration
Rainfall intensity, expressed in mm per hour, is a key factor in flood generation and soil erosion. It is calculated by dividing the total rainfall depth by the duration of the storm event.
降水强度以毫米/小时表示，是洪水生成和土壤侵蚀的关键因子。将总降水量除以暴雨持续时长即可求得该值。
7. Soil Erosion Assessment | 土壤侵蚀评估
A = R × K × LS × C × P
The Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) estimates long-term average annual soil loss (A) in tonnes per hectare. The factors are: R – rainfall erosivity, K – soil erodibility, LS – slope length-gradient factor, C – cover management, and P – support practices factor. This model helps land managers design effective conservation strategies.
通用土壤流失方程 (USLE) 用于估算长期年均土壤流失量 (A)，单位吨/公顷。各因子分别为：R – 降雨侵蚀力，K – 土壤可蚀性，LS – 坡长坡度因子，C – 覆盖管理因子，P – 水土保持措施因子。该模型帮助土地管理者制定有效的水土保持策略。
8. Mapwork & Topographic Skills | 地图与地形技能
Map Scale = Map Distance / Actual Distance
The representative fraction, often written as 1:50 000, is the ratio of a distance on the map to the corresponding ground distance. All scale conversions require careful unit management, typically in centimetres and kilometres.
数字比例尺通常写成 1:50 000，表示图上距离与相应实地距离的比值。所有比例尺换算均需仔细管理单位，通常为厘米与千米。
Gradient = VI / HE
Gradient expresses the steepness of a slope as the ratio of vertical interval (VI) to horizontal equivalent (HE). It can be simplified to a fraction such as 1:20, where the vertical rise is 1 unit for every 20 horizontal units.
坡度表示斜坡的陡峭程度，等于垂直高差 (VI) 除以水平距离 (HE)。可简化为 1:20 这样的分数，表示每前进 20 个水平单位，垂直上升 1 个单位。
Vertical Exaggeration = Vertical Scale / Horizontal Scale
Vertical exaggeration (VE) is used in cross-section drawing to enhance the visibility of relief features. It is computed by dividing the vertical scale of the profile by the horizontal scale of the map. A VE of 5 means heights appear five times steeper than reality.
垂直夸大 (VE) 用于剖面图绘制中以突出地形起伏。用剖面图的垂直比例尺除以地图的水平比例尺计算得出。VE 等于 5 表示图上高度比实际陡峭 5 倍。
Area = Grid Squares × Unit Area of One Square
To estimate irregular areas on topographic maps, count the number of full and partial grid squares covered by the feature and multiply by the ground area represented by one square. The dot grid method can refine partial-square counts.
估算地形图上不规则区域的面积时，数出目标所覆盖的完整及部分网格数目，再乘以每个网格所代表的实地面积。点格法可以优化部分网格的计数。
9. Economic & Industrial Location Measures | 经济与工业区位测度
Location Quotient (LQ) = (e₁ / e) / (E₁ / E)
The location quotient compares the concentration of a particular industry in a local area to that in a reference area, usually the nation. e₁ is local employment in the industry, e is total local employment, E₁ is national employment in the industry, and E is total national employment. LQ > 1 indicates a regional specialisation in that industry.
区位商 (LQ) 比较某一特定产业在地方的集中度与参考区域（通常为全国）的集中度。e₁ 为地方该产业就业人数，e 为地方总就业人数，E₁ 为全国该产业就业人数，E 为全国总就业人数。LQ > 1 表明该区域在该产业上具有专业化优势。
Gibbs–Martin Diversity Index = 1 − Σx² / (Σx)²
This index measures the industrial diversification of a region. x represents employment in each industrial sector. The index ranges from 0 (complete specialisation in one sector) to nearly 1 (highly diversified). It is valuable for assessing economic resilience.
该指数衡量一个地区的产业多样化程度。x 表示各产业部门的就业人数。指数取值范围从 0（完全集中于一个部门）到接近 1（高度多样化），是评价经济韧性的重要工具。
10. Statistical Techniques for Geography | 地理统计分析
Mean (x̄) = Σx / n
The arithmetic mean is the most widely used measure of central tendency. It is computed by summing all observed values (x) and dividing by the number of observations (n). Use the mean to describe the average value of a dataset such as annual temperature or household income.
算术平均值是最常用的集中趋势量数。将所有观测值 (x) 求和，再除以观测值数目 (n) 即得其值。用它描述年平均气温或家庭收入等数据集的平均水平。
Standard Deviation (s) = √[ Σ(x − x̄)² / (n − 1) ]
Standard deviation quantifies the dispersion of a dataset around the mean. The divisor (n − 1) is used for sample data to provide an unbiased estimate. A low standard deviation indicates that data points cluster closely around the mean, while a high value suggests wide spread.
标准差量化了数据集围绕平均值的离散程度。样本数据使用 (n − 1) 作为分母以获得无偏估计。低标准差表明数据点紧密聚集在均值附近，高标准差则表示数据分布分散。
Spearman’s Rank Correlation Coefficient (ρ) = 1 − (6 Σ D²) / (n (n² − 1))
Spearman’s ρ measures the strength and direction of the monotonic relationship between two ranked variables. D is the difference between the ranks of each observation, and n is the number of paired observations. The coefficient ranges from −1 (perfect negative correlation) to +1 (perfect positive correlation). A result close to zero suggests no correlation. This technique is frequently tested in geographical fieldwork contexts.
斯皮尔曼等级相关系数 (ρ) 衡量两个定序变量间单调关系的强度和方向。D 为每对观测值的等级差，n 为配对观测值的数目。系数范围从 −1（完全负相关）到 +1（完全正相关）。接近零的结果表明不存在相关关系。该方法是地理野外考察中经常考查的技术。
