Abstract

[1] In the paper “Hillslope evolution by nonlinear, slope-dependent transport: Steady state morphology and equilbrium adjustment timescales” by Joshua J. Roering, James W. Kirchner, and William E. Dietrich (Journal of Geophysical Research, 106(B8), 16,499–16,499, 2001), the Figure 11 caption is incomplete. The complete caption is given here. [2] Figure 11. Variation of τnon/τlin with ΨL for hillslopes modeled with various values of K and Co. For small ΨL the nonlinear and linear adjustment timescales are effectively equivalent, whereas for increasing ΨL the adjustment timescale decreases rapidly. The relationship is well approximated by (15), with the exponent approximately equal to 1.74 ± 0.02. The thin solid lines show the initial and final values of ΨL (initial value of 0.72; final value of 1.78) and τnon/τlin (initial value of 0.39; final value of 0.17) for the simulation depicted in Figures 7 and 8. The initial and final values of τnon are 84 and 36 kyr, respectively (given τlin = 216 kyr).
