It is calculated using\nelevation data for each location subtracted by the mean elevation within a\nneighborhood. mTPI uses moving windows of radius (km): 115.8, 89.9, 35.5,\n13.1, 5.6, 2.8, and 1.2. It is based on the 30m \"AVE\" band of JAXA's ALOS\nDEM (available in EE as JAXA/ALOS/AW3D30_V1_1).\n\nThe Conservation Science Partners (CSP) Ecologically Relevant Geomorphology\n(ERGo) Datasets, Landforms and Physiography contain detailed, multi-scale\ndata on landforms and physiographic (aka land facet) patterns. Although\nthere are many potential uses of these data, the original purpose for these\ndata was to develop an ecologically relevant classification and map of\nlandforms and physiographic classes that are suitable for climate adaptation\nplanning. Because there is large uncertainty associated with future climate\nconditions and even more uncertainty around ecological responses, providing\ninformation about what is unlikely to change offers a strong foundation for\nmanagers to build robust climate adaptation plans. The quantification of\nthese features of the landscape is sensitive to the resolution, so we\nprovide the highest resolution possible given the extent and characteristics\nof a given index.\n\n### Bands\n\n\n**Pixel Size**\n\n270 meters\n\n**Bands**\n\n| Name | Units | Min | Max | Pixel Size | Description |\n|-------|-------|---------|---------|------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|\n| `AVE` | m | -3758\\* | 10963\\* | meters | ALOS-derived mTPI ranging from negative (valleys) to positive (ridges) values |\n\n\\* estimated min or max value\n\n### Terms of Use\n\n**Terms of Use**\n\n[CC-BY-NC-SA-4.0](https://spdx.org/licenses/CC-BY-NC-SA-4.0.html)\n\n### Citations\n\nCitations:\n\n- Theobald, D.
