Arctic topographic asymmetry

North-South topographic asymmetry index which is the base-10 logarithm of the ratio of the median slope of the north-facing to that of the south-facing pixels within a 25 km by 25 km cell.

The data set consists of 5 file pairs, each pair comprising the index itself and its bootstrap-derived standard error estimate (se suffix)

bandpass_logratio: N-S logratio asymmetry index using the baseline configuration (0.04 slope threshold, bandpass filter)

bandpass_logratioEW: E-W logratio asymmetry index using the baseline configuration

bandpass002_logratio: N-S index using a slope threshold of 0.02

bandpass008_logratio: N-S index using a slope threshold of 0.08

lowpass_logratio: N-S index without high-pass filtering

The data were derived from the ArcticDEM:
