Abstract:

The land slope cluster and aspect dataset of Bhutan was developed based on ASTER GDEM V003 data, integrated with the cluster models in slope degree and slope percentage. The data indicates that the area of land where slope was higher than 15° was 84.17% of the total area of Bhutan; the area of land where slope was higher than 25% was 86.09% of the total area of Bhutan. The dataset is archived in .tif formats, and consists of 18 data files with data size of 340 MB (Compressed into one file with 41.3 MB).
