The availability of high-resolution DEMs opens new horizons for research in mountainous environments where the spatial pattern of solar radiation fields is complex and dynamic. This monograph chapter outlines the basic principles of the solar radiation modelling within GIS with an emphasis to the role of DEM. }, title = {Solar Resource Modelling for Energy Applications}, url = {http://www.springer.com/geography/gis+cartography/book/978-3-540-36730-7}, volume = {}, number = {}, journal = {}, pages = {259-273}, issn = {1863-2246}, publisher = {Springer}, doi = {} }
