What's the difference between latitude and latitudinal?
Latitude
Definition:
(n.) Extent from side to side, or distance sidewise from a given point or line; breadth; width.
(n.) Room; space; freedom from confinement or restraint; hence, looseness; laxity; independence.
(n.) Extent or breadth of signification, application, etc.; extent of deviation from a standard, as truth, style, etc.
(n.) Extent; size; amplitude; scope.
(n.) Distance north or south of the equator, measured on a meridian.
(n.) The angular distance of a heavenly body from the ecliptic.

(20) It’s not an entirely surprising thing to Canadians to watch each other revert to past international connections – a multicultural country like this one tends to allow a lot of latitude when defining one’s nationality.
Latitudinal
Definition:
(a.) Of or pertaining to latitude; in the direction of latitude.
Example Sentences:
(1) Another conspicuous histologic finding observed in the WKY hearts was that the continuity of the latitudinal fiber bundle of the ventricular septum with that of the left ventricular free wall, an important functioning unit for pressure generation in the left ventricle, was markedly disturbed in the area of junction between the 2 walls; the smaller the continuity, the greater the cardiac hypertrophy; the disadvantage of the discontinuity for the pressure generation may be related to the development of cardiac hypertrophy.
(2) The observed north-south differences in the phase relation of both pacemaker and rhythm to the light cycle are explained by the latitudinal clines in pacemaker properties and a postulated aftereffect of photoperiod on tau.

(4) Selection for conservation of pacemaker amplitude (during the breeding season) would produce the latitudinal cline we propose.
(5) A model has been developed to evaluate the effect of seasonal and latitudinal changes on the potential of sunlight to initiate cutaneous production of vitamin D3.
(6) Socioeconomic status (particularly income), German ethnicity, and colon cancer mortality were strong indicators of the rates for postmenopausal women, but only partly explained the northern excess and latitudinal gradient.
(7) I believe this attitude found its origins in the indisputable fact that there are latitudinal and altitudinal changes in community complexity.
(8) Although a greater wall stress in the latitudinal versus longitudinal axis was predicted adequately from left ventricular geometry alone, the observed latitudinal strain exceeded longitudinal strain by an amount greater than was predicted by geometric considerations alone, suggesting that myocardial anisotropy contributes significantly to changes in ventricular shape during diastolic filling.
(9) By comparison of the principal characters some distinctions typical for forests of different latitudinal situation are revealed.
