FIGURE 6.2. GRAYMAPS OF THE PHYSIOGRAPHIC AND SOLAR INSOLATION
DATA PLANES OVERLAYING THE LANDSAT MSS BANDS. The elevation data
plane (a) was sampled cell-by-cell from the 1:24,000 scale U.S.G.S. topographic map.
| Slope (b) and aspect (c) were computed from the elevation plane. The near-
| instantaneous incoming solar insolation (d) was computed for the time of the
LANDSAT overpass using the slope and aspect data planes.
