<div>Hello,</div><div>What I must do is create a mask in GRASS which takes consideration on the slope of the study area.</div><div>I'm studying a river and I have the GDEM of the area, what I've done so far it was extrapolate some sections in order to have the longitudinal profile / slope (and that is a line), to do that I used the GDEM, following the main channel line's.</div>
<div>Now my problem is how to transform this informations in a surface.</div><div>My idea would be to create something like a GDEM from the longitudinal profile (I tried with v.surf.rast) and then with r.mapcalc get the mask (with r.mapcalc, define the mask choosing the points of the GDEM which are located at an altitude of about 5-6m larger than that of the longitudinal profile).</div>
<div><br></div><div>Does anyone have any suggestions?</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks in advance for availability</div><div>Have a nice day</div><div><br></div>-- <br>Elena <br>
