Calculates the direct beam solar energy received over a full Martian day on an inclined surface.
Obtained by integrating beam irradiance from sunrise to sunset.
Usage
H_bi(Ls, phi, tau, beta, gamma_c)
Arguments
- Ls
Areocentric longitude [deg]
- phi
Planetary latitude [deg]
- tau
Atmospheric optical depth (dimensionless)
- beta
Surface tilt/slope angle from horizontal [deg]
- gamma_c
Surface azimuth angle [deg]. Zero facing equator, east negative, west positive (-180 to +180)
Value
Beam daily insolation on inclined surface [Wh/m²-day]
