> INPE [2] \TOPODATA [3] project offers free access to local geomorphometric variables derived from SRTM data, throughout the entire Brazilian territory. The refined data was derived with geomorphometric analyses algorithms to calculate slope (steepness), slope direction, plan curvature and profile curvature.
> In addition to these, a second order derivation was applied to enhance thalweg and divides, which were overlaid on a slope direction presentation, as input for the interpretation of drainage features and structure.
