摘要
Digital elevation models are now widely used to calculate terrain parameters to determine incoming solar and longwave radialion for use in surface climate models, interpretation of remote-sensing data, and parameters in hydrologic models. Because of the large number of points in an elevation grid, fast algorithms are useful to save computation time. We describe rapid methods for calculating slop and azimuth, solar illumination angle, horizons, and view factors for radiation from sky and terrain. Calculation time is reduced by fast algorithms and lookup tables. © 1990 IEEE
