Update to EUDEM slope data in pre-processing #15
base: main
Are you sure you want to change the base?

See my latest comment in #4. This PR should only change the data source in my opinion, without any downstream changes necessary. |
* slope_in_europe output is now a binary indicator of whether any sub-pixel within a land-cover pixel is too steep
Although this now is functionally only changing the data source, it also provides the option for more complex slope-based processing in future. However, the initial threshold rule ( |
This is the first step in the workflow to update to using EUDEM slope data, which a user would need to manually download from Copernicus. Full European coverage is 1.8GB, which seems quite manageable. This does away with dependence on SRTM/GMTED elevation data and accordingly a lot of processing steps. It also allows Iceland and upper Nordics to be included at full resolution.
This is a draft PR as the downstream handling of this data is not yet clear to me (as I detail in #4); I would appreciate guidance on this @timtroendle.
