;------------------------------------------------------------- ;+ ; NAME: ; SUNPOS ; PURPOSE: ; Compute sun position from date/time and long/lat. ; CATEGORY: ; CALLING SEQUENCE: ; sunpos, time, lng, lat, azi, alt ; INPUTS: ; time=t Date and time string or double in ; precision Julian Seconds. ; lng, lat = Longitude and latitude. May be arrays. in ; KEYWORD PARAMETERS: ; Keywords: ; ZONE=hrs Hours ahead of GMT (def=0). Ex: zone=-4 for EDT. ; OUTPUTS: ; azi, alt = corresponding solar azimuth and altitude out ; at given points. Altitude is actual, not refracted. ; COMMON BLOCKS: ; NOTES: ; MODIFICATION HISTORY: ; R.
