The influence of the spatial resolution of topographic input data on the accuracy of 3-D UV actinic flux and irradiance calculations

The aim of this study is to investigate the influence of the spatial resolution of a digital elevation map (DEM) on the three-dimensional (3-D) radiative transfer performance for both spectral ultraviolet (UV) irradiance and actinic flux at 305 nm. Model simulations were performed for clear sky cond...
