Brief description
Slope measures the inclination of the land surface from the horizontal. The percent slope and degrees slope products represent this inclination as the ratio of change in height to distance. The slope (percentage) and slope (degrees) products were derived from the Smoothed Digital Elevation Model (DEM-S; ANZCW0703014016), which was derived from the 1 second resolution SRTM data acquired by NASA in February 2000. The calculation of slope from DEM-S accounted for the varying spacing between grid points in the geographic projection. The 3 second resolution slope products were generated from the 1 second percent slope/degrees slope products and masked by the 3” water and ocean mask datasets.Notes
