Spatial variability of glacier elevation changes in the Swiss Alps obtained from two digital elevation models
Massive glacier thinning in the Alps during the past 20 years is documented by direct mass balance measurements on nine regularly observed glaciers. How representative this limited sample of glaciers is for the entire Alps, however, remained uncertain. The near-global digital terrain model from the SRTM enables a closer analysis of this question, which is of fundamental importance to assess ove...
متن کاملEffects of Digital Elevation Models (DEM) Spatial Resolution on Hydrological Simulation
Digital Elevation Model is one of the most important data for watershed modeling whit hydrological models that it has a significant impact on hydrological processes simulation. Several studies by the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) as useful Tool have indicated that the simulation results of this model is very sensitive to the quality of topographic data. The aim of this study is evaluati...
متن کاملEstimation of Mass Balance of the Grosser Aletschgletscher, Swiss Alps, from ICESat Laser Altimetry Data and Digital Elevation Models
Traditional glaciological mass balance measurements of mountain glaciers are a demanding and cost intensive task. In this study, we combine data from the Ice Cloud and Elevation Satellite (ICESat) acquired between 2003 and 2009 with air and space borne Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) in order to derive surface elevation changes of the Grosser Aletschgletscher in the Swiss Alps. Three different ...
متن کاملBuilding extraction from digital elevation models
To extract buildings from Digital Elevation Models, we define a point process whose points represent buildings. We then define a density for this point process which is split into two parts, consisting in an ”internal field” that allows us to model the prior knowledge we have on patterns of buildings in urban areas and an ”external field” that makes the point process fit the data. We then use a...
متن کاملDigital Elevation Models from Contour Lines
♦ Sampling density along the contours Interpolation of the irregular set of data points to a regular grid Valid theorems for sampling density have only recently been developed. Interpolation methods have to deal with the 'flat triangle' problem, as well as preservation of the accuracy of slope. Meaningful slopes are increasingly important in applications such as soil erosion and run-off modelli...
