abstract = "The HAND (Height Above the Nearest Drainage), a quantitative
topographic descriptor, is used to classify terrain in a manner
that is related to local soil water conditions, providing
hydrological meaning to the SRTM DEM. In this paper, we compare
performance of using the HAND grid instead of the SRTM DEM for
classifying, at regional scale (19 000 000 km2), drainage
conditions of terra firme environment (plateau, slope, ecotone and
waterlogged) in the Eastern Amazon, Brazil. Additionally, we
emphasize the need to attenuate the canopy effects of the SRTM DEM
for the boundary between forested and deforested areas, in order
to produce coherent data for hydrological modeling.",
