| Abstract |
This study quantified directional properties of channel network and hill slope for a river basin by applying the von Mises distribution, also examined the relation between them. Ultimately, it was examined that whether the directional properties of channel network and hill slope have a certain relation, which might be considered to the rainfall-runoff modeling. From the results derived by analyzing the Naesung stream basin, the von Mises distribution was found well to explain the directional characteristics of directional properties of channel network. There was a clear relation between directional properties of channel network and hill slope. The higher-order streams also showed very obvious modal characteristics. The results derived in this study could be helpful to estimate more quantitatively the difference in the runoff response with respect to the directional properties of channel network and hill slope. |
