[GRASS-user] slope calculation under lat long

[Giuseppe Amatulli]

Hi,
I wondering if the slope calculation in GRASS
(https://grass.osgeo.org/grass78/manuals/r.slope.aspect.html) take in to
account the
latitudinal change of the meridian distance or just simply treats the
raster as square grids also under lat long system (WGS84)?

In case of "treats the WGS84 raster as square grids" the only solution to
obtain better results is to resampling the DEM to UTM or to Equi7.

Thank you
Giuseppe
