Western United States 30m Raw Heatload Values
June 5, 2018
Heat load, a unitless value from approximately 0 (low incident radiation) to around 1 (high incident radiation), is calculated using aspect, slope, and latitude (McCune and Dylan 2002 ). This raster was generated as a precursor layer to generate a layer used with the Land Treatment Planning Tool. The planning tool uses the binned version of this data, while this raster includes the raw, calculated values.
