At What Scales Does A River Meander? Scale-Specific Sinuosity (S3) Metric For Quantifying Stream Meander Size Distribution
--
doi.org/10.1016/j.geomorph.202 <-- shared paper
--
“HIGHLIGHTS:
• Scale-specific sinuosity (S3) summarizes bend sizes of linear features and associated contributions to sinuosity across a range of scales.
• The S3 plot is analogous to a frequency histogram of bend sizes, like a fingerprint or a spectral signature
• The S3 is an easily computed metric to assess influential scales in bend patterns of linear stream features
• The paper formalizes a relation between sinuosity and fractal dimension..."

@allochthonous

Sinuosity is a natural phenomenon of flowing water based purely on physical principles. Once any bend occurs, slower moving water leaves deposits on the inside curve while faster moving water erodes the outer curve.
