 ![Graphic representation of ridge metric calculations for the example intersection (purple dot). Amplitude (a; shown in yellow) is calculated by averaging the differences between the maximum elevation found within the corresponding ridge area (grey patch) and the minimum elevation values found in the preceding (a1) and following (a2) swale areas. Width (w; shown in purple) is the distance between the edges of the corresponding ridge area. Spacing (s; shown in green) is the distance between the intersection point and the adjacent intersection point closer to the channel.\label{fig:figure3}](figs/example_metric.png)
