Arctic topographic asymmetry

  • 1. University of Alaska Fairbanks

Description

North-South topographic asymmetry index which is the base-10 logarithm of the ratio of the median slope of the north-facing to that of the south-facing pixels within a 25 km by 25 km cell.

The data set consists of 5 file pairs, each pair comprising the index itself and its bootstrap-derived standard error estimate (se suffix)

  1. bandpass_logratio: N-S logratio asymmetry index using the baseline configuration (0.04 slope threshold, bandpass filter)
  2. bandpass_logratioEW: E-W logratio asymmetry index using the baseline configuration
  3. bandpass002_logratio: N-S index using a slope threshold of 0.02
  4. bandpass008_logratio: N-S index using a slope threshold of 0.08
  5. lowpass_logratio: N-S index without high-pass filtering

The data were derived from the ArcticDEM:
