Peter Gasperini, president of Northeast Radiant, a hydronic radiant heat installer in South Salem, N.Y., said that when designing a snow-melting system, the installer should weigh property variables, including slope, drainage, average humidity, typical snow density and even wind velocity.
That is why all models include slope angle as a topographical factor (Baeza and Corominas 2001).
Different parameters including slope, intercept, and r2 values were computed for expressing linear regression.
Therefore almost all statistical models include slope angle as a topographical factor (Baeza and Corominas 2001).
The topographic data used in the analysis include slope, aspect and curvature.
Modern denudation rates are compared with catchment geomorphic indices including slope, fluvial steepness index, and relief.
By contrast, models built from CVS data consistently included slope and dominant tree species.
Projects have included slope and aspect calculation, region-growing, buffer generation, edge extraction, optimal path finding and texture-based segmentation.
Shaded relief maps provide simple, intuitive terrain depictions, but additional capabilities include slope, curvature and terrain organisation.
Linear regression functions were generally improved after including slope curvature in the model, but these results were not always significant.
However, it is considered that the rotation behavior changes due to the slope angle and that it is important to include slope angle as an explanatory variable.
