Description
This is the watershed boundary data for Mars (along with Hack's Law exponent) as described in Luo et al. "Global Spatial Distribution of Hack’s Law Exponent on Mars Consistent with Early Arid Climate" accepted for publication in Geophysical Research Letters on 3/10/2023.
The attributes are as follows:
Id, gridcode = ID of basin
Shape_Length = perimeter of the basin
Shape_area = area of the basin
geoArea = geodesic area of the basin
geoLength = geodesic perimeter of the basin
areaR = geoArea / Shape_area
LengthR = geoLength / Shape_Length
n_exponent = Hack’s Law Exponent (h in L = k A^h)
n_coefficient = Hack’s Law exponent (k in L = k A^h)
n_r2 = r^2 of the nonlinear fit (optimize.curve_fit function in SciPy)
