Vectorial algebra algorithms for calculating terrain parameters from DEMs and solar radiation modelling in mountainous terrain
Terrain parameters derived from digital elevation models (DEMs), such as slope gradient, aspect and cell surface area, are represented as a vector normal to the surface and calculated using the minimum areal unit of the DEM, that is enclosed between four data points. The position of the Sun is calculated by applying rotational matrices to a unit vector defined at noon as a function of latitude ...
متن کاملExpressive Rendering of Mountainous Terrain
Painters and cartographers have developed artistic landscape rendering techniques for centuries. Such renderings can visualize complex three-dimensional landscapes in a pleasing and understandable way. In this work we examine a particular type of artistic depiction, panorama maps, in terms of function and style, and we develop methods to automatically generate panorama map reminiscent rendering...
متن کاملHydrographic Feature Generalization in Dry Mountainous Terrain
A wide variety of climate and terrain conditions exist in the United States and optimal cartographic generalization techniques for one area of the country may not be suitable for another, particularly when working with surface hydrographic data. This paper presents generalization and data modelling to produce reduced scale versions of hydrographic data for a multi-resolution national data set, ...
متن کاملQuantifying the Spatial Variability of Surface Fluxes Using Data from the 2002 International H2O Project
Spatial variability in the exchange of energy and moisture is a key control on numerous atmospheric, hydrologic, and environmental processes. Using observations made on fair weather days during the 2002 International H2O Project, four methods for quantifying the spatial variability of surface fluxes are investigated. The first two methods utilize applied statistical techniques to describe the s...
متن کاملA Clear-Sky Spectral Solar Radiation Model for Snow-Covered Mountainous Terrain
A dear-sky spectral solar radiation model for direct and diffuse fluxes, combined with topographic calculations from digital terrain data, computes either incident, net, or reflected solar radiation at any point on a snow surface in mountainous terrain. The radiation may be integrated over any wavelength range from 250 to 5000 nm, or over any time step. Atmospheric attenuation parameters are oz...
