| Horizontal stratification | Aerospace | Uniform meteorological conditions at a given altitude, over the area under consideration. The term horizontally stratified atmosphere is generally assumed to mean complete stratification at each altitude. It follows that the vertical profile, which need not be a standard profile, is consistent over the area under consideration. When the condition extends over a large area, the term spherical stratification is used. (references) | |
| Horizontal Stratification | Trade | Stratifying or separating a frame into subgroups according to dollar values or amounts. The idea is that similar size items will have similar size errors. Horizontal stratification improves sample results (i.e. precision). (references) | |
