Global ALOS CHILI (Continuous Heat-Insolation Load Index)
CHILI is a surrogate for effects of insolation and topographic shading on evapotranspiration represented by calculating insolation at early afternoon, sun altitude equivalent to equinox. It is based on the 30m "AVE" band of JAXA's ALOS DEM (available in EE as JAXA/ALOS/AW3D30_V1_1). The Conservation Science … aspect csp elevation ergo geophysical global -
Global ALOS Landforms
The ALOS Landform dataset provides landform classes created by combining the Continuous Heat-Insolation Load Index (ALOS CHILI) and the multi-scale Topographic Position Index (ALOS mTPI) datasets. It is based on the 30m "AVE" band of JAXA's ALOS DEM (available in EE as JAXA/ALOS/AW3D30_V1_1). The Conservation … aspect csp elevation ergo geophysical global -
Global ALOS mTPI (Multi-Scale Topographic Position Index)
The mTPI distinguishes ridge from valley forms. It is calculated using elevation data for each location subtracted by the mean elevation within a neighborhood. mTPI uses moving windows of radius (km): 115.8, 89.9, 35.5, 13.1, 5.6, 2.8, and 1.2. It is based on the 30m … aspect csp elevation ergo geophysical global -
Global ALOS Topographic Diversity
Topographic diversity (D) is a surrogate variable that represents the variety of temperature and moisture conditions available to species as local habitats. It expresses the logic that a higher variety of topo-climate niches should support higher diversity (especially plant) and support species persistence given climatic … aspect csp elevation ergo geophysical global -
