A modified basal outlining algorithm for identifying topographic highs from gridded elevation data, Part 1: Motivation and methods
A new approach is developed to improve the automated identification and characterization of topographic highs having quasi-elliptical basal shapes. It is designed for the study of volcanic edifices in subaerial and submarine environments, but may be applied to identify any enclosed topography feature within a digital elevation model. The procedure utilizes the results of a standard closedcontou...
متن کاملA modified basal outlining algorithm for identifying topographic highs in gridded elevation data, part 2: Application to Springerville Volcanic Field
Delineating boundaries of volcanic edifices from surrounding topography is often difficult, timeconsuming and subjective. For large volcanic fields, with hundreds of volcanoes, developing methods to efficiently and consistently identify and isolate volcanoes from surrounding topography is of utmost importance. Advances in technology for collecting and processing digital elevation datasets have ...
متن کاملA new triangular multiple flow direction algorithm for computing upslope areas from gridded digital elevation models
Gridded digital elevation data, often referred to as DEMs, are one of the most widely available forms of environmental data. Topographic analysis of DEMs can take many forms, but in hydrologic and geomorphologic applications it is typically used as a surrogate for the spatial variation of hydrological conditions (topographic indices) and flow routing. Here we report on a new flow routing algori...
متن کاملThe Effect of Error in Gridded Digital Elevation Models on Topographic Analysis and on the Distributed Hydrological Model TOPMODEL
Digital elevation models (dems) provide the basic information required to characterise the topographic attributes of terrain. The primary derived topographic parameters associated with DEMs are slope and aspect. Slope and aspect can be used to calculate other significant topographic parameters such as upslope area and topographic index. The topographic index, in turn, can be used by distributed...
متن کاملEvaluation of Gridded Precipitation Data for Driving SWAT Model in Area Upstream of Three Gorges Reservoir
Gridded precipitation data are becoming an important source for driving hydrologic models to achieve stable and valid simulation results in different regions. Thus, evaluating different sources of precipitation data is important for improving the applicability of gridded data. In this study, we used three gridded rainfall datasets: 1) National Centers for Environmental Prediction-Climate Foreca...
