“…The solar radiation incident to the surface is also affected by variations in slope and aspect of the topography and by local terrain shadowing surrounding terrain (Dozier et al, 1981). This shading changes with time of day, time of year, and latitude.…”

“…Terrain slope and aspect have been identified throughout the literature as large contributors to this spatial variability (Carey and Woo, 1998;Dozier et al, 1981;Pomeroy et al, 2003;Ryerson, 1984;Woo and Young, 2004). In a catchment in the Yukon, Canada, Pomeroy et al (2003) found that on a clear day at midday in the peak snowmelt period, a 20 • south-facing slope received 80% more incoming solar shortwave radiation than a similarly steep, north-facing slope.…”

“…For the purpose of computing the plane that represents the terrain at each point, a classical approach based on the eight adjacent cells is used (Burrough and McDonnell, 1998, p. 190); the plain serves to compute the normal to the surface (needed for computing incident angles) as well as to know where self-shadows exist (incident angles ≥ 180°). Methods for computing cast-shadowing are derived from Dozier et al (1981).…”
