      地貌参数公式公式释意
      面积(A)通过ArcGIS水文分析模块提取面积是泥石流物源条件的反映,面积较大的沟谷有更多滑坡、崩塌为泥石流发生提供松散物质。
      坡度(S)S=tan-1HhLhHh为岩体垂直高度;Lh为水平长度。坡度反映松散物补给方式和汇流速度,坡度越陡,松散物越容易启动。
      主沟长度(L)通过ArcGIS水文分析模块提取主沟越长,越利于增加水量,接纳和搬运的松散碎屑物越多。
      比降(G)G=HLH为海拔变化;L为长度变化。比降反映沟道演化状况,表征泥石流沟水动力条件和物质输送能力,在一定范围内,比降越大越易爆发泥石流。
      高差(RA)RA=hmax-hminhmaxhmin分别是流域内的最高和最低海拔;RA表示切口深度和地表剥蚀程度,反映流域构造活动强度和能量条件。高差越大,越易发生泥石流。
      沟谷形状指数(Rf)Rf=AL2Rf反映沟谷的汇水和水动力条件。Rf大,沟道中洪峰流量越大,越有利松散物质的起动。
      面积—高程积分值(HI)HI=hmean-hminhmax-hminhmean表示是流域内的平均海拔。HI反映流域受侵蚀程度,HI越大,表明流域演化阶段越年轻,可蚀性越大。
      纵剖面形态指数(N)h=HlLNhl:纵剖面上某点与河口的高差及距离;HL:河源与河口之间的高差及水平距离;N反映泥石流发育地貌条件,可将泥石流分为幼年期、壮年期和老年期。
      沟壑密度(GD)GD=L/AL为沟谷河流的总长;GD反映流域发育的完善程度。沟壑密度越大的地区,不稳定面越多,边坡稳定性越弱,发生泥石流的可能性也越大
      植被覆盖度(FVC)FVC=(NDVI-NDVIsoil)(NDVIveg-NDVIsoil)NDVIsoil是裸土或者无植被覆盖区域的NDVI;NDVIveg是完全被植被覆盖的NDVI。通常植被覆盖度越高,坡面越稳定。
