The program r.watershed allows for the user to generate a raster
map that has slope steepness (multiplied by 100). I usually
interpret slope as a unitless value. The values generated by
r.watershed seem too high to be slope (values are commonly greater
than 1). Does anyone know how to properly interpret this value?
Thanks in advance.John Stamm

Hi John,
the option >slope.steepness< in r.watershed calculates the s-factor of the
RUSLE. So, don't matter about some strange results
