Type: Environmental (gridded) 0.01 degree (~1km)
Classification: Substrate ⇒ Moisture
Units: dimensionless
Data language: eng
Scope:
Notes: Maximum of the Topographic Wetness Index (TWI) values in each 36 second grid cell. TWI was calculated as ln(a/tan �) where a is the upslope area per unit contour length and tan � is the local slope (dimensionless), computed by Stein (2008).
Keywords: soil, slope, water
