The article presents a step-by-step algorithm for constructing basic surfaces in the SAGA GIS software. The territory of Arkhangelsk Region, which is part of East European Plain, is chosen as the object of research. The source material for the calculations is a digital elevation model (DEM) built on the basis of ASTER GDEM v2 with a spatial resolution of about 30 m. Reference surfaces are calculated based on the DEM (after its hydrological correction) and a map of stream orders from 1 to N. Valleys of orders 1 and 2 correspond to ravines, gullies and temporary (seasonal) streams. In flat areas and in temperate climates, river valleys usually have a constant stream, starting from orders 3 and 4. The maximum stream order equal to 10 on the territory of Arkhangelsk Region corresponds to the Northern Dvina River. Morphometric surfaces are calculated to evaluate the neotectonic movements of the Earth’s crust. Basic surface maps are static maps; they make it possible to quantify the amplitudes of neotectonic movements without taking into account their temporal development.
Keywords: digital elevation model, catchment area, channel network, stream order, basic surfaces, Arkhangelsk Region
