This map provides an elevation tinted hillshade surface generated dynamically using a chain of server-side functions on a Terrain layer . A tinted hillshade is a combination of a hillshade applied to the Terrain, fused to a colormap applied to the same Terrain to represent elevation. The hillshading is based on a solar altitude angle of 45 degrees, and solar aspect angle of 315 degrees. The z factor is varied based on scale so that a suitable hillshade is visible at all scales. What can you do with this layer? Use for Visualization: Yes. This is appropriate for visualizing the shape and height of the terrain at a range of map scales. The image service can be added to applications or maps to enhance a users' contextual understanding. Use for Analysis: No. To learn more about the technique used in this map to fuse the elevation tint with hillshade, refer NAGI fusion method . For more details such as Data Sources, Mosaic method used in this layer, please see the Terrain layer . This layer allows query, identify, and export image requests. The layer is restricted to a 5,000 x 5,000 pixel limit in a single export image request. This layer is part of a larger collection of elevation layers that you can use to perform a variety of mapping analysis tasks.
