CA_MFD_PARTIAL is contributing area in m2 computed using multiple flow directions on hillslopes and ANUDEM-derived flow directions in channels. The contributing area was computed on 1 degree tiles with 200 cell (about 5 km) overlaps so the areas in channels do not account for catchments beyond that size (hence the use of PARTIAL in the name). The primary purpose of this product was to calculate topographic wetness index (TWI; Gallant and Wilson, 2000) for which full contributing areas in channels are not necessary. Do not use this product to represent contributing areas of catchments larger than 5 km across. The CA_MFD_PARTIAL product was derived from the Hydrologically enforced Digital Elevation Model (DEM-H; ANZCW0703014615), which was derived from the 1 arc-second resolution SRTM data acquired by NASA in February 2000. This data is available in tiled format at 1 arc-second and 3 arc-second resolution. The 3 arc-second resolution product was generated from the 1 arc-second CA_MFD (partial) product and masked by the 3” water and ocean mask datasets.
