Slope units represent surface slopes by means of polygons delimited drainage and divide lines obtained on a digital topography. Objective slope unit delineation for given elevation model is still an open issue and, often, limitation that may dictate the use more traditional pixel-based approach spatial analysis. Availability maps facilitates many kinds studies allows scholars to focus specific ...

Based on observations from a hydrometeorological network on the eastern slopes of the Annapurna Range, nearly all the annual precipitation at low elevations (< 2000 m MSL) in Nepal is in liquid form, even during the winter. However, high elevations (> 3000 m MSL) can receive up to 40% of their annual precipitation as snowfall during the winter, with the highest altitude stations (@4000 m MSL an...
