Stream Sinuosity

Stream Sinuosity is a dimensionless geomorphological metric that quantifies the degree of meandering in a river channel by the ratio of the channel's actual thalweg length to the straight-line downvalley distance, distinguishing it from other measures of channel complexity through its specific focus on path elongation.
