Computer program for calculation of the incident radiation per day on a horizontal surface at the edge of the atmosphere
Abstract
A program is described for the calculation of the incident solar radiation per day on a horizontal surface at the edge of the atmosphere as a function of the location on earth (latitude) and the day number. By-products of this program are declination and sun length, as well as day length and the distance earth-sun as function of latitude and day number for an average year. The program was written for meteorological applications.
