swissALTI3D monodirectional Hillshade

The hillshade is derived from the digital elevation model swissALTI3D. It illustrates the surface relief of Switzerland and the Principality of Liechtenstein. A hillshade is derived from the elevation model by calculating the exposure of the surface to sunlight at a certain or several angles. The monodirectional swissALTI3D hillshade is generated using a northwestern sun position as light source.
