Impacts of topographic shading on direct solar radiation for valley glaciers in complex topography

<p>Topographic shading, including both shaded relief and cast shadowing, plays a fundamental role in determining direct solar radiation on glacier ice. However, shading has been oversimplified or incorrectly incorporated in surface energy balance models in some past studies. In addition, no sy...
