Switzerland Mapped for Ground Light and Shade with 10-Meter Detail
Researchers have developed a detailed model calculating ground-level light and shade across Switzerland. The innovative mapping provides light level data with a precision of 10 meters, encompassing both open and forested areas. This model is capable of simulating shadows cast by individual trees.
A new mapping initiative in Switzerland has precisely calculated ground-level light and shade across the country. Researchers have created a model that determines light levels with a resolution of 10 meters.
This detailed mapping effort covers both open landscapes and forested regions. A notable feature of the model is its capacity to simulate the shadows cast by individual trees, offering granular insights into ground surface light conditions.
According to Phys.org, this advanced model provides a comprehensive understanding of light exposure throughout Switzerland.
