Model part of larger framework LandLab
Note on status model
Date note status model
Incorporated models or components:
Spatial dimensions 1.5D, 2D
Spatial extent Regional-Scale, Landscape-Scale
Model domain Terrestrial
One-line model description Calculate steepness and concavity indices from gridded topography
Extended model description This component calculates steepness indices, sensu Wobus et al. 2006, for a Landlab landscape. Follows broadly the approach used in GeomorphTools, geomorphtools.org.
Keywords:

concavity, terrain analysis, steepness,

Describe input parameters grid : RasterModelGrid

A landlab RasterModelGrid.

reference_concavity : float
The reference concavity to use in the calculation.

min_drainage_area : float (m**2; default 1.e6)
The minimum drainage area above which steepness indices are calculated. Defaults to 1.e6 m**2, per Wobus et al. 2006.

elev_step : float (m; default 0.)
If >0., becomes a vertical elevation change step to use to discretize the data (per Wobus). If 0., all nodes are used and no discretization happens.

discretization_length : float (m; default 0.)
If >0., becomes the lengthscale over which to segment the profiles - i.e., one different steepness index value is calculated every discretization_length. If only one (or no) points are present in a segment, it will be lumped together with the next segment. If zero, one value is assigned to each channel node.
