<br>
right, it doesn't make sense probably from hydrologic point of view.<br>
Let me explain reasoning. My colleagues are working on developing<br>
distributed event-based model for surface and subsurface runoff and<br>
erosion. We are working on experimental version which enables<br>
computation parallelization. In initial phase AOI is split into tiles.<br>
Instead of regular grid of tiles a basin-based tiles are used. This is<br>
reason why basins (defining tiles) should be of similar area size.<br>

If this is the case, I would propose to prototype a procedure based on similar geomorphological characteristics to determine the 'optimal' threshold for clusters, being optimal the threshold that gives you the desired (range of) basin size. Just thinking out loud here. The threshold is the cutoff of upslope area draining in the outlet cell. For a fixed threshold values, you will obtain basins that are similar in size in areas that have similar geomorphological characteristics, e.g. slope. I would cluster areas with similar range of slope values and calibrate a suitable threshold that gives the desired basin area for each cluster. This looks like a lot of prototyping work, however, if you make a first run with a tentative threshold value, display the resulting basins and visually compare with slope map you should get a rough idea of what to do with the slope ranges already.</div><div><br></div><div>Hope this helps,<br></div></div><br clear="all"><br>-- <br><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><font color="#666666">Margherita Di Leo</font></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
