topidx | R Documentation |
Calculation of the topographic index from a DEM raster
topidx(DEM, resolution, river = NULL)
DEM |
A matrix representing a digital elevation model with equally sized pixels and equal NS and EW resolution |
resolution |
Resolution of the digital elevation model (m) |
river |
A matrix representing a river map (optional). All cells with values higher than 0 will be treated as river cells and are not included in the calculations. |
The river map should not contain negative values
The function returns a list, containing 2 rasters. Atb are the topographic index values of each grid cell. Area contains the contributing area
