I am seeking information regarding the use of 1:24,000 DEMs to
calculate (approximate!?!) actual surface area in a topologically
diverse region.
I am especially interested in any GRASS scripts, dot commands, methods
ect. which would provide surface area estimates instead of planimetric
area values.
I am also searching for any work which analyzed the differences in
surface area estimation that result when 1:250,000 DMAs are used
instead of 1:24,000 DEMs in a region of substantial topographic
relief.
