| Sumario: | The writers propose a method for characterizing land surfaces on multiple, spatially varying local land surface scales. They approximate terrain surfaces locally in order to calculate surface derivatives at various window sizes and use local scale behavior diagrams to define scale ranges and curvatures for each surface point. The writers hope to demonstrate the value of these approaches for land surface parameterization and classification and to encourage future research in the direction of multi-scale landform characterization. |
