<h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>

<em>r.topidx</em> creates topographic index (wetness index), ln(a/tan(beta)), map from
elevation map
<p>where
<em>r.topidx</em> creates topographic index (wetness index), ln(a/tan(beta)),
map from elevation map where
<dl>
<dd>a: the area of the hillslope per unit contour length that drains through any point,
<p><dd>tan(beta): the local surface topographic slope (delta vertical) / (delta horizontal).

<p>Input maps may have NULL values. For example, if you have a MASK for
a watershed (basin map from <em>r.water.outlet</em>), the
following command will create a masked elevation map (belev):

create a masked elevation map (belev):

r.mapcalc "belev = if(isnull(basin), basin, elev)"
</pre></div>
<p>
<em>r.stats -Anc</em> prints out averaged statistics for topographic index.

<p>Unprojected lat/long locations are not supported. If data is not projected
in a lat/long location, please create a new location in a projected coordinate
system and reproject the data into the new projected location. Please run
<em>r.topidx</em> from that location.

<h2>EXAMPLE</h2>

Running the command below will generate the topographic index map shown in the figure:
