I just stumbled upon this, really informative, but I think the breaks in the Section “How to create an aspect map” should be -1,45, 135,225,315. But other than that thanks for this nice piece of information!

Another application: The wind today is from the NE, where can I fly my paraglider and get ridge lift? I need to know both aspect, slope, and distance.

Another question is this, how does south-facing slopes undergo more extensive freeze/thaw cycles.

That was a wonderful explanation of an aspect map. My question is this: apart from west-facing slope which other slope facing direction have high amounts of sun radiation

In reply to Elisa. You can add the image from this post (non-georeferenced), then use the color picker to find the RGB value. Next, change the aspect map accordingly.

Hi after executing my aspect map I don’t have any colours on it, everything is grey. How can I do it to have the colour ramp you said ?

Hi, I am using the MODIS snow product, I have created an aspect map and slope map so now I need to study the snow cover area for different eight aspects and in different slopes could you give me some hints how to do it using Arc map?

Hey guys, what a great article, helped me a lot, but I still have one doubt, that I believe is extremely simple for you to answer me, given your vast knowledge. How can I display my aspect map in 3D in ArcScene?
