<h1 class='module'>Slope Over Area Ratio</h1>
|
|
<div class='author'>(c) 2010 by David G. Tarboton</div>
|
|
<div class='description'>Calculates the ratio of the slope to the specific
|
|
catchment area (contributing area). This is algebraically related to the
|
|
more common ln(a/tan beta) wetness index, but contributing area is in the
|
|
denominator to avoid divide by 0 errors when slope is 0.</div>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Parameters</h2>
|
|
<dl class='parameters'>
|
|
<dt>Number of Processes <div class='type'>Integer</div></dt>
|
|
<dd>The number of stripes that the domain will be divided into and the
|
|
number of MPI parallel processes that will be spawned to evaluate each
|
|
of the stripes.</dd>
|
|
<dt>Slope Grid <div class='type'>Raster Grid</div></dt>
|
|
<dd>A grid of slope. This grid can be generated using ether the "D8
|
|
Flow Directions" tool or the "D-Infinity Flow Directions"
|
|
tool.</dd>
|
|
<dt>Specific Catchment Area Grid <div class='type'>Raster Grid</div></dt>
|
|
<dd>A grid giving the contributing area value for each cell taken as
|
|
its own contribution plus the contribution from upslope neighbors that
|
|
drain in to it. Contributing area is counted in terms of the number of
|
|
grid cells (or summation of weights). This grid can be generated using
|
|
either the "D8 Contributing Area" tool or the "D-Infinity
|
|
Contributing Area" tool.</dd>

<h2>Outputs</h2>
|
|
<dl class='parameters'>
|
|
<dt>Slope Divided By Area Ratio Grid <div class='type'>Raster Grid</div></dt>
|
|
<dd>A grid of the ratio of slope to specific catchment area (contributing
|
|
area). This is algebraically related to the more common <tt>ln(a/tan beta)</tt>
|
|
wetness index, but contributing area is in the denominator to avoid divide
|
|
by 0 errors when slope is 0.</dd>
