We need to play with our slopes that are being too inclusive right now:
It seems like what we're using at 0.68 is way too high in each case. It also seems like we have too fat of a tail should fall off quicker.
I have just qualitatively tweaked on a 11-19 tab:
Essentially, I moved the inflection points down a notch and got rid of long table and used half of first inflection point for 0.995 to 0.8 ramp.
@shelbysawyer what we need to do is
And then transferred over to here: https://github.com/Riverscapes/riverscapes-tools/blob/master/packages/vbet/database/data/intersect/intersect/inflections.csv
@shelbysawyer please let me know how I can help with generation of the calibration points.

@shelbysawyer where are we with this? I've kind of lost the plot here. Could you either close it or let me know what's still outstanding?
Hi @MattReimer yes-- I'm on the east coast for 2 weeks of field work but will dive into VBET tasks more fully when I'm back in office on Nov 28th.
@shelbysawyer after you and I discuss #674, lets make a new issue regarding VBET transform curve calibration. This one you can refer back to but has gotten a little too big.
Currently, the transform curves have been specified, but not calibrated. Calibration will help VBET output a better prediction of valley bottom extent in all settings.
We want to partition our specification/calibration points so that we can use the same dataset to both calibrate and validate it.
@shelbysawyer I am adding here so these become tracked tasks and can be split into issues if needed: @shelbysawyer please:
Active Channel Area
(where its mapped by NHD, not what it shows on aerial photo)Active Floodplain
(pick in middle of 10 m pixels that are at least 1 to 2 pixels wide appear low-enough to flood regularly and are supporting riparian vegetationInactive Floodplain
(areas in middle of 10 m pixels and meet definition of could plausibly flood, but are distinctive from neighboring hillslopes, terraces.Terrace
clear examples of terraces that are obviously terraces and clearly from a historic, relic flow-regime (i.e. can't be confused with anthropogenic incision episodes). If not sure,Probably not Valley Bottom
Definitely not Valley Bottom

,Active Floodplain on Fan
andInactive Floodplain on Fan
specifically on alluvial fans but only on the part of the upper fans that are clearly NOT part of the mainstem trunk valley bottom (avoid shared custody areas at distal edge).
