Tapes-g: a Grid-based Terrain Analysis Program for the Environmental Sciences
نویسندگان
چکیده
TAPES-G is a grid-based terrain analysis program that computes slope, aspect, upslope contributing area, profile and plan curvature and several other topographic attributes for each cell of a square-grid digital elevation model (DEM). These topographic attributes can be used to represent key physical processes in a form simple enough to allow modeling at catchment and larger scales. The program creates initially a depressionless DEM if desired. Upslope contributing area can be calculated using either the classical D8 algorithm, the quasi-random Rho8 algorithm, the multiple flow direction FD8/FRho8 algorithm or Costa-Cabral and Burges’s stream tube-based DEMON algorithm. Stream networks, sub-catchments and the spatial distribution of individual attributes can be plotted interactively or copied to the ARC/INFO geographic information system (GIS) for further processing.

متن کاملGIS-based analysis of spatial distribution patterns of growing degree-days for agricultural applications in Iran
The geographical distribution of growing degree-days (GDDs) within Iran was studied using GIS-based maps. GDDs were calculated using daily thermal parameters (daily maximum and minimum air temperature). Based on the purpose of the study and climatic conditions of Iran, the average value of 5?C was chosen for GDD calculation. The calculations were carried out using daily weather data of 113 mete...

متن کاملLandforms identification using neural network-self organizing map and SRTM data
During an 11 days mission in February 2000 the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) collected data over 80% of the Earth's land surface, for all areas between 60 degrees N and 56 degrees S latitude. Since SRTM data became available, many studies utilized them for application in topography and morphometric landscape analysis. Exploiting SRTM data for recognition and extraction of topographic ...
متن کاملDynamic 3D Maps and Their Texture-Based Design
Three-dimensional maps are fundamental tools for presenting, exploring, and manipulating geo data. This paper describes multiresolution concepts for 3D maps and their texture-based design. In our approach, 3D maps are based on a hybrid, multiresolution terrain model composed of data sets having different topological structure, for example a coarse regular grid combined with by triangulated micr...
