Digital elevation model based inputs should be added to the solar module to assist in computation of irradiance and insolation like parameters. This would compliment the already in place ability to perform matrix operations for lat/lon inputs corresponding to a gridded raster dataset. These values are pertinent to energy balance applications.
Some similar functionality already exists in the ET module under the METRIC model, though it is not as scalable as it could be.
