    The document contains graphs and maps analyzing solar radiation patterns in different seasons and vegetation types in the Santa Monica Mountains. It shows total solar radiation and insolation levels vary by season, with summer generally receiving the most and winter the least. Elevation, slope, and aspect also differ depending on the vegetation type and influence solar exposure.
