Huippukohdan

Huippukohdan is the genitive form of the Finnish noun huippukohde, a compound word built from huippu meaning peak or summit, and kohde meaning target, object, or location. In usage, huippukohdan denotes something belonging to or associated with the peak point, such as the value, location, or characteristics of that peak.

The term is primarily used in technical and analytical contexts. Huippukohde refers to a peak point or apex within a defined dataset, measurement, or physical profile, and huippukohdan is used when describing attributes related to that peak point. For example, huippukohdan arvo means the value at the peak point, and huippukohdan sijainti means the location of the peak point. The compound reflects a precise notion of a highest or most significant point within a specified context.

Common contexts include geography (the highest point of terrain), meteorology or climatology (the apex of a monitored variable), and data analysis or signal processing (the maximum of a data series or waveform). In everyday language, huippukohta or simply huippu may be used instead of huippukohde in more informal speech.
