variabilities
Degrees of inconsistency
Variabilities is the plural of variability—the quality or degree to which something changes or differs.
The word appears most often in technical and scientific contexts where multiple types or sources of variation are being distinguished: The study examined variabilities in temperature, rainfall, and soil composition across regions.
Climate scientists, statisticians, and researchers use variabilities when cataloging distinct dimensions of change.
