spike

English to Spanish Tech/Engineering Geology Marine surveys
For a marine survey, pls see below thanks, he visto "muestras adicionadas" en kudoz pero no estoy tan segura de que sea aplicable aqui pf ver abajo gracias

Close inspection of the full particle sizes and distributions within all of the sample records confirmed the similarity of the majority of stations indicative of generalbi-modal distribution peaking around the medium sand and coarse silt fractions, with a consistent tail of silts (Figure 8); nogravel material was recorded.
Figure 9 indicates that the majority of stations sampled follow a similar trend relating to particle size distribution, with a spike in the coarse to medium sands which rapidly decreases into the fine sands.
A second spike is then witnessed between the very fine sands to coarse silt factions, which then rapidly decreases leaving a consistent tail of silts.

valor más pronunciado / valor máximo

valores más pronunciados

Parece que simplemente están indicando un “ascenso pronunciado” de la estadística. Es decir, la gráfica muestra los diversos grosores de las partículas de arena... y simplemente indican donde hay una “cumbre”, “spike” en el sentido de “cumbre” en la estadística. N.B. que en tu contexto también usan “peaking around the medium sand...” Es decir, “peaking” = “alcanzar su apogeo” “alcanzar los máximos valores”...

Suerte.

Incremento momentáneo

When one plots a graph of say production versus time and its value at one particular spot spikes, it means that has occurred a sudden increase, and returns to more suitable value. the spike value can be an indication of something good or bad, depending on the analysis being made.
Example sentence:

There was a spike in the end of year sales as compared with sales at

the same time last year.
