intermediate direction
ordinal direction

In many regions of the world, prevalent winds change direction seasonally, and consequently many cultures associate specific named winds with cardinal and intercardinal directions.

Because it is shaped roughly like a diamond or rhombus with its point matching the cardinal points of the compass, its boundary lines are roughly oriented along the ordinal or intercardinal directions.

In some languages, such as Finnish, Estonian and Breton, the intercardinal directions have names that are not compounds of the names of the cardinal directions (as, for instance, northeast is compounded from north and east).

The Ba gua is integrated into the Primordial Qigong form: the eight trigrams are represented by the placement of the body in the Center facing the cardinal directions and awareness of the intercardinal directions: northeast, southeast, northwest and southwest, as one turns both counter-clockwise and clockwise throughout the form.

You should be able to estimate the intermediate directions within 10 degrees.

It is possible that some northern people used the Germanic names for the intermediate directions.

Intermediate directions are controlled by simultaneous actions of multiple muscles.

Metria puffed in and out to all intermediate directions, but also spied nothing special.

- Back the other way was reverse; the two intermediate directions were Left demi and right demi.

The Eight Gates were based roughly in the four cardinal and four intermediate directions of the compass.

Mapping Lesson Plan (includes use of cardinal and intermediate directions) (T)

Offspring of pairs comprising birds of different subpopulations will, in such species, attempt to migrate into an intermediate direction.

The arrangement was later discontinued, and gates names are now simply intermediate directions where the stadium's gates are located.

Mixed pairings are also selected against because the hybrid young would migrate in an intermediate direction, which would take them into the Bay of Biscay.

The intermediate directions did fasten it on; the directions did fasten it on.

During the Paggusan monks or nuns should give notice of the direction or intermediate direction in which they intend to go forth for the sake of begging alms.

On two occasions, when the wind changed direction and waves lagged behind, the cells were observed to form in an intermediate direction, (between wind and waves) consistent with model predictions.

Persistent intermediate directions may also be established; averaging effects of the magnetic recording process may then lead to preferred longitudes for VGP paths, but not to N/R asymmetry.

For a harmonic motion, the highest loads occur for a motion parallel to a pair of sides, whereas the highest elevations generally occur for an intermediate direction of motion.

Local Committees and Area Committees are the intermediate direction bodies, while the Central Committee acts as the supreme body of the UMG between congresses and elected by (and in every) the National Congress.

Further, the intermediate direction of every set of intercardinal and cardinal direction is called a secondary-intercardinal direction, the eight shortest points in the compass rose to the right, i.e. NNE, ENE, ESE, and so on.

The compass rose is an old design element found on compasses, maps, and even monuments (e.g. the Tower of the Winds in Athens and the pavement in Dougga, Tunis, during Roman times) to show cardinal directions and frequently intermediate direction.

In some cases, e.g., many of the Puebloan peoples of the Southwestern United States, the four named directions are not North, South, East and West but are the four intermediate directions associated with the places of sunrise and sunset at the winter and summer solstices.
