ee.Terrain.slope

Calcula la pendiente en grados a partir de un DEM de terreno.

El gradiente local se calcula con los vecinos conectados por 4 de cada píxel, por lo que los valores faltantes se producirán alrededor de los bordes de una imagen.

// Demonstrate ee.Terrain functions with single-image and collection DEMs.

// DEMs in Earth Engine are often distributed as single images per asset
// (e.g., NASA/NASADEM_HGT/001) or as collections of tiled images that need
// to be mosaicked (e.g., COPERNICUS/DEM/GLO30). Terrain analysis functions
// compute values based on neighboring pixels, so care must be taken to
// select and prepare DEM inputs appropriately.

// 1. Single DEM image asset.
// Assets like NASADEM are presented as single images covering large areas.
// They generally have a single projection and can be used in terrain analysis
// with no preprocessing.
var nasadem = ee.Image('NASA/NASADEM_HGT/001').select('elevation');

// Calculate slope: degrees, range [0, 90).
var nasademSlope = ee.Terrain.slope(nasadem);

// Visualization parameters.
var elevationVis = {
  min: 0.0,
  max: 3000.0,
  palette:
      ['333399', '00a2e5', '55dd77', 'ffff99', 'aa926b', 'aa928d', 'ffffff']
};
var slopeVis = {min: 0.0, max: 60.0};

// Display layers.
Map.setCenter(-121.603, 47.702, 9);
Map.addLayer(nasadem, elevationVis, 'NASADEM Elevation', false);
Map.addLayer(nasademSlope, slopeVis, 'NASADEM Slope');

// 2. Mosaicked DEM ImageCollection asset.
// In contrast to single-image assets like NASADEM, some DEMs like GLO30 are
// provided as a collection of images that need to be mosaicked before use.
// We use this mosaicked DEM for the terrain calculations below.
var glo30collection = ee.ImageCollection('COPERNICUS/DEM/GLO30');

// When mosaicking a DEM collection that will be used for terrain analysis,
// it is best practice to set the mosaic's default projection to the native
// projection of the DEM tiles. If you don't, Earth Engine's default
// projection for mosaics (EPSG:4326 at 1-degree scale) is used, which is
// often too coarse for analysis and can lead to resampling artifacts if
// the result is reprojected to a different CRS during computation.
// See:
