1.0 Add Profile


(Working with line of sight and add profile)

1. Create Hillshade: ArcToolBox Spatial Analyst Tools Surface Hillshade


Altitude: 25;
Tick model shadows
OK
2. Add data Add viewspot
3. Customize Toolbar 3D Analyst
4. Terrain model in the layer box (driftless) Create Line of Sight
Observer offset: 2 Z units;
Target Offset: 0 Z units (modelling a person that is approximately 6 feet tall)
Click on the point tool (line of sight) and select on the viewpoint on the map
Draw a line Red= not visible, Green = Visible
5. Point Profile Profile Graph (Elevation vs Distance) RC graph Add to layout

2.0 Raster Calculator


(Identify the difference between the Shasta and the lowpass)

1. ArcToolbox Spatial Analyst Map Algebra Raster Calculator


Shasta Lowpass
Output location: difference
OK
2. ArcToolbox Spatial Analyst Map Algebra Raster Calculator
Conditional
Con(Abs(difference)>15, lowpass, shasta)
(if the difference is more than 15, take the lowpass, otherwise choose Shasta)
Output raster: Smoothed
OK

3.0 Lowpass Filter


(Correct some area in the dem (Shasta dem) hill shade(HillShasta),
do a lowpass filter on the entire surface, then take the area that are smooth out and
add them to our entire surface, essentially correcting the little spots in hill shade)

1. ArcToolBox Spatial Analyst Tools Neighborhood Filter


Input Raster: Shasta;
Output raster: lowpass;
Filter type: LOW
OK

4.0 Watershed
1. Select driftless layer ArcToolBox Spatial Analyst Tools Hydrology Fill
Input Surface: driftless;
Output Surface: filled dem
OK Untick driffless
(Filled_dem: fill in the dead end)
2. Raster calculator: driftless - Filled_dem
(To see what area are filled in, not required to calculate Watershed)
3. ArcToolBox Spatial Analyst Tools Hydrology Flow Direction
Input surface: filled_dem;
Output flow: f_direction
OK
4. ArcToolBox Spatial Analyst Tools Hydrology Flow Accumulation
Input surface: f_direction;
Output flow: f_accum
OK
5. ArcToolBox Spatial Analyst Tools Reclass Reclassify
Input surface: f_accum;
Reclass field: Value;
Classify
Classes: 2;
Break values: 50000, 1635836
OK
New values: 1st row: NoData, 2nd row: 1, 3rd row: NoData;
Output Raster: d_streams
OK
6. Catalog RC folder New shapefile Name: Outlet Edit Import driftless OK2
7. Editor Start Editor Outlet OK Select Outlet (at Create Features) Point
Select on raster structure (on top of the diamonds) Save edit Stop edit
8. RC f_accum Zoom to layer
ArcToolBox Spatial Analyst Tools Hydrology Snap Pour Point
(Snapping that drain into the bottom of the watershed)
Input surface: Outlet;
Input accumulation raster: f_accum;
Output flow: r_pour_pt;
Snap distance: 4 (To ensure we are on the correct location)
OK (Establish that drain point as drain at the raster structure)
9. ArcToolBox Spatial Analyst Tools Hydrology Watershed
Input flow direction raster: f_direction;
Input raster or feature pour point data: f_pour_pt;
Pour Point field:VALUE;
Output flow: watershed
OK
10. ArcToolBox Conversion Tools From Raster Raster to Polyline
Input Raster: d_streams;
Field: VALUE;
Output Polyine features: streams;
OK (Convert d_streams into a vector file)
11. Create a layour displaying the diftless DEM, Watershed, Outlet and Derived_Streams with
legend, scalebar, title and northdirection
5.0 Resample
(Combining two DEM with two different resolution, we want to use the higher resolution where
we have it, but use the lower resolution data elsewhere)

1. Add Data Valley3, valley9 Create Hillshade (for both DEM): ArcToolBox Spatial
Analyst Tools Surface Hillshade OK
2. ArcToolBox Data Management Tools Raster Raster Processing Resample
Input Raster: Valley9;
Output Raster Dataset: Valley9to_3;
Output Cell size: Same as layer valley3;
Resampling Technique: BILINEAR
OK
(Convert 9m to 3m : resample)\
3. ArcToolBox Spatial Analyst Tools Map Algebra Raster Calculator
Con(IsNull("valley3"),"valley9to_3" ,"valley3");
Output: CombinedDEM
OK
[IsNull and Con. In short, the IsNull returns True whenever a cell comparison or value is
Null. => Con(true/false test, True, False) ]
