Creator Tarboton, David G. Schreuders, K. A. T. Watson, D. W. Baker, M. E.
Description Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) of topography are widely used in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to derive information for the modeling of hydrologic processes. We present a general method for flow analysis that builds upon the representation of downslope flow using the proportioning of flow among one or multiple downslope grid cells, such as with the D8 or D-infinity models for the representation of downslope flow used in hydrologic terrain analysis, to enable the calculation of a new...
