Its azimuth will change by as much as a half degree per day (~16° over 30 days) at those times. Over Christmas, its northerly limit, the sun sets as far north as 303.5°, just 5° shy of due NorthWest. Huh. Thanks guys! Esp. @russ_watters for suggesting Stellarium. I can stop...
Sun Azimuth Angle (AZM)is the angle made by the horizontal component of the sun's direct ray with the North direction (azimuth = 0) at a location in the northern hemisphere. Sun azimuth is the angular displacement at a given hour (HR) measured clockwise from the north azimuth line. Tan(...
We first explored an algorithm produced by Ibrahim Reda and Afshin Andreas for the National Renewable Energy Laboratory to determine the current solar position using GPS data. This algorithm calculates azimuth and zenith angles with an accuracy of 0.0003 degrees, and is supposedly valid for centuries....
1. Main controllerand azimuth detection head: Main controller installation hole 4MM: left and right hole spacing: 174MM, upper and lower hole spacing: 60MM Using a waterproof box as the shell, it has 6 waterproof interfaces for line connection. All lines on the motherboard are connected using...
The transformation of these measurements into an orthogonal coordinate system defined by the sensor's mechanical build axes requires knowledge of the elevation angle θi and azimuth angle ϕi of Si. Twelve parameters (3 gains, 3 offsets, and 6 angles) are therefore required to convert the ...

The vehicle alti- tude can be controlled precisely by two azimuth thrust- ers mounted on the mid-ship of the body and by 'X' rudders on the rear. The AUV position is monitored in a three-dimensional space using a super-short baseline (SSBL) acoustic system (13–15 kHz range) and...
Step 3. The routine SUNAE introduced by Walraven [27] was used to derive the solar azimuths and elevations. The original SUNAE algorithm has, however, been renamed to XRONOS (meaning time in Greek, X is pronounced CH) because of added modifications due to the right ascension and atmospheri...
