cal_angerFromSouth: Calculating anger from south

Description

A parameter used to determine the position of the sun relative to the observer (the other one is solar inclination).

Usage

cal_angerFromSouth(latitude, solar_altitude, solar_declination)

Value

A vector for anger from south (Radian)

Arguments

latitude

is the latitude data (Radian).

solar_altitude

It can be calculated from pi/2-cal_solarinclination.

solar_declination

is solar declination anger. It can be calculated from cal_solardeclination()

Details

The minus and positive signs are taken before and after solar noon, receptively. The reason for having the positive-and-negative signs is merely an artificial convention so that we are able to distinguish between the sun lying westwards (posite angles and after solar noon) and eastwards (negative angles and before solar noon).
