[GRASS-user] Elevation above a river

[Shane Carey]

This works a treat - super stuff - thanks Johannes.

Could you point me in the direction of an algorithim with Grass that can do
the following:

# Clean some of the spurious cells etc. (using some kind of neighbourhood
filtering)

Thanks very much
