Quantifying the mixed uncertainty for calculating slope from a gridded digital elevation model by Jinlu Zhang, Yi Cheng, Wen Ge, Shuxue Li, Qiang He, Tong Zhang

“…Digital terrain analysis (DTA) using digital elevation models is influenced by two main uncertainties: propagated elevation uncertainty (PEU) from data and truncation error (TE) from the modeling process. Traditional studies often treat these uncertainties separately, neglecting their coupled nature, which limits the ability to accurately capture overall uncertainty and assess the relative contributions of different factors. …”
