Calculates the solar beam energy on a horizontal surface at the top of the Martian atmosphere
(before atmospheric attenuation) between specified start and end times. Implements Equation 11
from Appelbaum & Flood (1990).
Usage
I_obh(Ls, phi, Ts_start, Ts_end)
Arguments
- Ls
Areocentric longitude [deg]
- phi
Planetary latitude [deg]
- Ts_start
Start of integration period [h]
- Ts_end
End of integration period [h]
Value
Beam insolation at top of atmosphere over specified time period [Wh/m²]
