reynolds number
Sorry, Google won't let me post this as a follow-up.
In the broadest sense, the reynolds number is a measure of the degree of turbulence. A low reynolds number corresponds to laminar flow while a high reynolds number corresponds to turbulent flow. However, as turbulence is fundamentally a chaotic phenomenon, it is possible to maintain laminar flow at a higher reynolds number until a perturbation initiates the turbulence. The reynolds number is important for determining boundary layer separation, drag and convective heat transfer coefficients.

Thank you Fred, this is the brief yet comprehensive description I was after. It explains why there are various RN values at various positions along the wing chord - which was much of my initial bewilderment.
