Abstract
where /is is the hour angle of the Sun (angular distance from the meridian of a site in radians) at sunset. Sunrise and sunset are not exactly symmetrical about the time that the Sun reaches a local meridian, but for biological simulation purposes the symmetry implicit in equation (1) is acceptable. The geometric equation for sin a (where a is solar elevation) can be rearranged to find hs as follows:
