Hypsometry

Swaths

We're now using the group of swaths from the single transect for all future calculations. The swaths have been clipped to the deformation front (see group (A) here). Also, the hypsometric curves have been calculated by excluding points below 100 and 200 meters. The relation of these contours (blue for 100 m, red for 200 m, and black for the deformation front) is shown here.
Curves for averaging width of 50 km
Only clipped at def. front
Clipped at def. front and 100 m
Clipped at def. front and 200 m

Unnormalized elevation curves for averaging widths of 50 km
Only clipped at def. front
Clipped at def. front and 100 m
Clipped at def. front and 200 m

These plots show differences between selected curves for the three clipping schemes.
Swath at 302 km from northern end, E-W profile at 302 km
Swaths at 52 and 102 from northern end, E-W profiles at 52 and 102 km
Curves for entire domain

Basins

We used the bigdefbasins grid to get the hypsometry for each basin. We ordered the basins on the eastern side from south to north for plotting purposes (south = blue, north = red).

Here are the curves for 28 eastern basins (outlined here).

Mass Distribution/ Elevation Statistics

We ran zonal stats on the new swaths (cut to deformation front and removing Coastal Range).  The same groups apply (A - single line; B - three line segments with overlap) as before. 

Group (A) Mass Distribution
Group (B) Mass Distribution

Group (A) Max/Mean Elevations
Group (B) Max/Mean Elevations
