SERVICE NAME

Grass_Raster_CurvatureService - This service involves to compute profile and tangential curvatures from a raster map layer of true elevation values.

Operations:

profile_curvature - Generate raster map layer of profile curvature from a raster map layer of true elevation values. Profile curvatures are the curvatures in the direction of steepest slope. The curvatures are expressed as 1/metres. The operation is based on GRASS raster command r.slope.aspect.
tangential_curvature - Generate raster map layer of tangential curvature from a raster map layer of true elevation values. Tangential curvatures are the curvatures in the direction of the contour tangent. The curvatures are expressed as 1/metres. The operation is based on GRASS raster command r.slope.aspect.
