Effect of DEM Resolution on Global Hydrologic Derivatives Jim Monty
Case study locations • Decided on watersheds in Indiana, South Carolina, and Colorado
The work….so far • Downloaded all DEM’s, checked for coverage • Converted all data to UTM • Started first steps for all 12 datasets • Slight issue with the Colorado 90 DEM Utilized “IsNull” and “Con” tools to eliminate missing data
Next steps • Complete delineations for each dataset • For each resolution, compare elevations within the DEM against a base elevation set of survey data to compute RMSE • Compute watershed characteristics for several different thresholds to compare effects of resolution • Does the terrain have an effect?
