Basin Hypsometry

Basin Hypsometry is a geomorphic metric that characterizes the distribution of elevations within a drainage basin relative to its total relief and area, typically expressed as a dimensionless hypsometric curve or integral, distinguishing it from other topographic metrics by encapsulating the spatial evolution and erosional history of the landscape.
