Class "Sol": Apparent movement of the Sun from the Earth

Description

A class which describe the apparent movement of the Sun from the Earth.

Objects from the Class

Objects can be created by calcSol.

Slots

lat:

numeric, latitude (degrees) as defined in the call to calcSol.

solD:

Object of class "zoo" created by fSolD.

solI:

Object of class "zoo" created by fSolI.

match:

numeric, index of solD related with the index of solI.

method:

character, method for the sun geometry calculations.

sample:

difftime, increment of the intradaily sequence.

Methods
