    The development of digital terrain analysis based on DEM is helpful for the simulation of solar radiation in rugged area.However the effect of DEM scale causes great uncertainty to the simulation.Taking loess hilly area and Qingling Mountain as test area,this paper studies the relationship between simulated astronomic radiation and DEM resolution through simulating daily,monthly and yearly astronomic radiation based on a serial of DEMs with different resolutions.The experimental result shows that simulated astronomic radiation increases gradually with the decrease of DEM resolution.When DEM grid cell size is greater than the relative heights of the test area,the radiation simulated is stable and the terrain factors such as slope gradient and aspect do not affect on the redistribution of solar radiation any more.In loess hilly area,when DEM grid cell sizes close to 1 000m the relative error of the annual astronomic radiation is about 22%,exceeding the winter’s radiation in this area.In Qingling mountainous area,errors are relative small and the maximum relative error is 17.8%.In a word,the impacts of DEM resolution on the simulation of the solar radiation are much greater in hilly area than in the mountainous area.

    Slope is one of the crucial terrain variables in spatial analysis and land use planning.DEM based slope extracting method has been widely used in practice.However,the slope data uncertainty which is very important to the applications has always been neglected.This paper focuses on how resolution affects the uncertainty of the slope extracted from DEMs in Shaanxi Province.Taking 1∶50 000 DEM with a resolution of 25m with a total of 671 sheets of Shaanxi as source data.The research shows that the average slope reduction along with the DEM resolution assumes a conic trend,but when the DEM resolution reduces to a certain degree,the average slope would tend to be stable;and from the result of the comparison of the slopes derived from different resolutions,we can see that the slope uncertainty presents an obvious spatial constitutive distribution.
