te, written in standard text as Te, is the lithospheric elastic thickness.
output is provided as a grid of vector points corresponding to the GRASS region when this command is invoked. Be sure to use g.region to properly set the input region! raster_output is the same output, except converted to a raster grid at the same resolution as the current computational region. If you have a grid spacing that is much smaller than a flexural wavelength, it is possible to interpolate the vector output to a much finer resolution than this raster output provides.
The Community Surface Dynamics Modeling System, into which gFlex is integrated, is a community-driven effort to build an open-source modeling infrastructure for Earth-surface processes.
