Missing cell values even when there is no inflowing drain ( I think) #215

I have a terrain that looks like this:

z elvels

As you can see, the elevation levels peak at the center and then going downwards radiating from the center. I would expect that there is no inflowing drain for this kind of terrain.

And hence, base on #195 and D8ContributingArea guide here, I would expect that the TauDEM should be able to nicely generate all the contributing cells.

But that's not the case! Even when -nc is selected, there are still a lot of cells missing contribution, as shown below:

lots of missing values

There are also a lot of missing area if -nc is not set.

without nc

Why is this so? Here are my steps, and I've attached the tif file

1. PitRemove.exe Site6.tif
2. D8FlowDir.exe -p Site6.tif -sd8 Site6sd8.tif -fel Site6fel.tif
3. aread8.exe -p Site6p.tif -ad8 Site6ad8.tif

Anyone who can enlighten me on this one?
