Describe processes represented by the model This tool maps out local surface roughness based on the neighborhood distribution of surface normal vectors. As sediment transport processes in soil mantled landscapes tend to be diffusive, the emergence of bedrock drives an increase in surface roughness that is mapped out by this algorithm.
Describe key physical parameters and equations The surface normal vector for a given pixel are defined by fitting a 6-term polynomial surface to a set of DEM points within a user-specified radius of that pixel. A second user-defined neighborhood is used to then map out the local variability in the orientation of the surface normal vectors.
Describe length scale and resolution constraints A requirement is high resolution topographic data, typically ~1m resolution. For a detailed discussion of lengthscale and resolution constraints we urge the user to refer to the original manuscript
Describe time scale and resolution constraints No time resolution constraints as this software performs topographic analysis.
Describe any numerical limitations and issues


Describe available calibration data sets
Upload calibration data sets if available:
Describe available test data sets Two test DEMs are included in the repository, alongside their respective driver files. These are used in the original manuscript.
Upload test data sets if available:
Describe ideal data for testing Any 1m resolution bare earth digital elevation model will do.


Do you have current or future plans for collaborating with other researchers? Yes
Is there a manual available? No
