Geomorphological indexes for Western Siberia tundra zone derived from ArcticDEM

  • 1. ROR icon National Research University Higher School of Economics

Description

The spatial dataset was calculated using the ArcticDEM with resolutions of 10 and 32 meters. The dataset includes various indexes and terrain features, such as geomorphon landforms, multiresolution index of the ridge top flatness (MRRTF) and multiresolution index of valley bottom flatness (MRVBF), topographical position index (TPI), topographic runoff index (TRuI), vector ruggedness measure (VRM), potential direction insulation in July. The data also includes logarithmized distance to water features calculated based on topographical maps. 
 
For the storage, the data are splited to the ArcticDEM tile grid (title_name.zip).

SAGA GIS, Multi-Scale Topographic Index; Options: min scale 1, max scale 8, num of scales 3.
https://saga-gis.sourceforge.io/saga_tool_doc/7.6.2/ta_morphometry_28.html

10m_TRuI_x100_ArcticDEM - Topographic Runoff Index multiplied by 100. Calculation: (TPI + k) * Slope, where k - the shift coefficient for TPI to avoid negative values (the lowest TPI value across the study area).

10m_VRM_R3_ArcticDEM - Vector Ruggedness Measure.
SAGA GIS, Vector Ruggedness Measure; Options: mode - circle, radius 3, no distance weighting.
https://saga-gis.sourceforge.io/saga_tool_doc/8.4.0/ta_morphometry_17.html

HydroYandex_all_EucDist_log2x100_int - Logarithmized Euclidean distance to water bodies, multiplied by 100. The data of the topographical maps, zoom 14 layer was classified into aquatic and non-aquatic objects. For the data obtained, the logarithmized distance to water features was calculated. Resolution 10 m.
