Changes in geometry and subglacial drainage derived from digital elevation models: Unteraargletscher, Switzerland, 1927–97
Digital elevation models of the bed and surface of Unteraargletscher, Switzerland, are used to reconstruct the theoretical pattern of basal water drainage for the years 1927, 1947, 1961 and 1997, during which period the glacier was thinning and receding. The theoretical drainage pattern for 1997 compares well, in a broad sense, with the locations of active moulins and the hydraulic connection s...
متن کاملCarving and adaptive drainage enforcement of grid digital elevation models
[1] An effective and widely used method for removing spurious pits in digital elevation models consists of filling them until they overflow. However, this method sometimes creates large flat regions which in turn pose a problem for the determination of accurate flow directions. In this study, we propose to suppress each pit by creating a descending path from it to the nearest point having a low...
متن کاملAccuracy of Local Topographic Variables Derived from Digital Elevation Models
We study the accuracy of data on some local topographic attributes derived from digital elevation models (DEMs). First, we carry out a test for the precision of four methods for calculation of partial derivatives of elevations. We ® nd that the Evans method is the most precision algorithm of this kind. Second, we produce formulae for root mean square errors of four local topographic variables (...
متن کاملQuantifying Uncertainty of Digital Elevation Models Derived from Topographic Maps
This paper explores a methodology for quantifying the uncertainty of DEMs created by digitising topographic maps. The origins of uncertainty in DEM production were identified and examined. The uncertainty of DEM data was quantified by computing a vector total of Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) from the source map, sampling and measurement errors, and the interpolation process. Distributional meas...
متن کاملAdding Gaussian noise to inaccurate digital elevation models improves spatial fidelity of derived drainage networks
[1] An economical approach to improving predictions of hydrological models produced highly accurate representations of ephemeral and perennial stream networks. Traditional drainage network extraction from digital elevation models (DEMs) often yields inaccurate and inconsistent results because of elevation errors. Topographic wetness index maps calculated from alternative terrain representations...
