TauDEM (Terrain Analysis Using Digital Elevation Models) is a suite of Digital
|
|
|
|
|
Elevation Model (DEM) tools for the extraction and analysis of hydrologic
|
|
|
|
|
information from topography as represented by a DEM. TauDEM provides the
|
|
|
|
|
following capability:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Development of hydrologically correct (pit removed) DEMs using the flooding
|
|
|
|
|
approach
|
|
|
|
|
* Calculates flow paths (directions) and slopes
|
|
|
|
|
* Calculates contributing area using single and multiple flow direction methods
|
|
|
|
|
* Multiple methods for the delineation of stream networks including topographic
|
|
|
|
|
form-based methods sensitive to spatially variable drainage density
|
|
|
|
|
* Objective methods for determination of the channel network delineation
|
|
|
|
|
threshold based on stream drops
|
|
|
|
|
* Delineation of watersheds and subwatersheds draining to each stream segment
|
|
|
|
|
and association between watershed and segment attributes for setting up
|
|
|
|
|
hydrologic models
|
|
|
|
|
* Specialized functions for terrain analysis

Note TauDEM also works fine with MPICH, so if you have it installed it is not
|
|
|
|
|
necessary to install OpenMPI.
