Terrain Analysis• Slope (Landslide susceptibility)

• Aspect (Solar insolation, vegetation)

• Catchment or dispersal area (Runoff volume, soil drainage)

• Flow path (Distance of water flow to point)

• Profiles, fence diagrams• Viewshed (visibility)• Indices (e.g., TPI/BPI, rugosity)

Slope and Aspect• measured from an elevation or bathymetry

raster – compare elevations of points in a 3x3 neighborhood

– slope and aspect at one point estimated from its elevation and that of surrounding 8 points

• number points row by row, from top left from 1 to 9

Typical Slope Calculation• b = (z3 + 2z6 + z9 - z1 - 2z4 - z7) / 8D

• c = (z1 + 2z2 + z3 - z7 - 2z8 - z9) / 8D– b denotes slope in the x direction

– c denotes slope in the y direction

– D is the spacing of points (30 m)

• find the slope that fits best to the 9 elevations

• minimizes the total of squared differences between point elevation and the fitted slope

• weighting four closer neighbors higher

• tan (slope) = sqrt (b2 + c2)

Slope Definitions

• Slope defined as an angle• … or rise over horizontal run• … or rise over actual run• various methods

– important to know how your favorite GIS calculates slope

Slope Definitions (cont.)

Aspect

• tan (aspect) = b/c– b denotes slope in the x direction

– c denotes slope in the y direction

• Angle between vertical and direction of steepest slope

• Measured clockwise• add 180 to aspect if c is positive, 360 to

aspect if c is negative and b is positive

Bathymetric Position Index(from TPI, Jones et al., 2000; Weiss, 2001; Iampietro & Kvitek, 2002)

Measure of where a point is in the overall land- or “seascape”Compares elevation of cell to mean elevation of neighborhood

(after Weiss 2001)

Algorithm compares each cell’s elevation to the mean elevation of the surrounding cells in an annulus or ring.

bpi<scalefactor> = int((bathy - focalmean(bathy, annulus, irad, orad)) + .5)

Bathymetric Position Index

-3m-

|---2---| |---------4-------|

resolution = 3 m

irad = 2 cells (6 m)

orad = 4 cells (12 m)

scalefactor = resolution * orad = 36 m

• Negative bpi = depression

• Positive bpi = crest

• Zero bpi = constant slope or flat

(1) Crests

(2) Depressions

A surficial characteristic of the seafloor based on a bathymetric position index value range at a broad scale & slope values.

(3) Flats

(4) Slopes

if (B-BPI >= 100) out_zones = 1

else if (B-BPI > -100 and B-BPI < 100 and slope <= gentle) out_zones = 3

Broadscale Zones from BPI

1. Narrow depression 8. Open slopes

2. Local depression on flat 9. Local crest in depression

3. Lateral midslope depression 10. Local crest on flat

4. Depression on crest 11. Lateral midslope crest

5. Broad depression with an open bottom 12. Narrow crest

6. Broad flat 13. Steep slope

7. Shelf

A surficial characteristic of the seafloor based on a BPI value range at a combined fine scale & broad scale, slope & depth

Use of Terrain Analysis Tools

• Look at version # (e.g., v. 1.0, and all that that implies!)

• Careful study of your own data– BPI scale factors– Fledermaus Viz and Profile Control helped in

conjunction

• Customized classification schemes• ArcGIS 9.x w/ latest Service Pack?• > 2.0 GHz processor, > 1 Gb disk space
