H_obh

Calculates the solar beam energy over a full Martian day on a horizontal surface at the top
of the Martian atmosphere (before atmospheric attenuation). Implements Equation 13 from
Appelbaum &amp; Flood (1990).

A set of functions to calculate solar irradiance and insolation on Mars horizontal and inclined surfaces. Based on NASA Technical Memoranda 102299, 103623, 105216, 106321, and 106700, i.e. the canonical Mars solar radiation papers.
