GRASS GIS Manual: R.Horizon. Huld, T., Cebecauer, T., Hofierka, J., & Suri, M. In GRASS Development Team, 2013. GRASS GIS 6.4.3svn Reference Manual. Open Source Geospatial Foundation.
Paper abstract bibtex r.horizon - Horizon angle computation from a digital elevation model. Computes horizon angle height from a digital elevation model. The module has two different modes of operation: 1. Computes the entire horizon around a single point whose coordinates are given with the 'coord' option. The horizon height (in radians). 2. Computes one or more raster maps of the horizon height in a single direction. The input for this is the angle (in degrees), which is measured counterclockwise with east=0, north=90 etc. The output is the horizon height in radians.
