Are there any functions available to calculate sunrise and sunset times for given latitude,longitude and dates? If not, I'll appreciatte any pointers to C code I could use/port. Thanks, Angel
Hello, I have R code for determining solar elevation for given lat,lon,time - they were translated from the Javascript on these pages. http://www.srrb.noaa.gov/highlights/sunrise/sunrise.html http://www.srrb.noaa.gov/highlights/sunrise/azel.html I use them in a fairly specialized way, but I can dig it out and probably help you get started.
