Aspect

---

The aspect data set describes the direction of maximum rate of change in the elevations between each cell and its eight neighbors. It can essentially be thought of as the slope direction. It is measured in positive integer degrees from 0 to 360, measured clockwise from north. Aspects of cells of zero slope (flat areas) are assigned values of -1.
