Exposure by sunlight

Direct light only; a sundial (image and a text file) can be also produced.

Longitude: (western as -)   Latitude:
Extinction in zenith:  cmag  (city air has rather 35 cmag)
Compute illumination of the surface with its normal pointing at: Azimuth from N:   Ang. height:

Another option is to use your own command line (ev. overriding all previous data):

(`?' gives help).

Daily solar exposure of a plane sized one square meter for these parameters:
 The normal to the plane points to
   azimuth  180.0 degrees  (South is at 180 degrees, West at 270 or -90),
   height     0.0 degrees  (Zenith is at 90 degrees),
 latitude of the place is 49.2 degrees,
 sky is CLEAR (all the time!), sunshine diminished 17 %  per unit air mass,
 glass properties: n =1.50, absorption = 0.10 (at normal incidence).
A reference plane points to 45 degrees over south
 at latitude of 49.20 degrees (positive=northern), is single-glazed
 and its insolation is diminished by 24 % per unit air mass.

This is a result of the programme sundialt (available as a part of a package pas_jh.zip (1.2 MB) -- the needed Pascal units themselves are unzipped within this directory, the whole tree of my programmes within this directory) with a command line:
