NOTE: Seven functions are available for use from Excel worksheets:

- dawn(lat, lon, year, month, day, timezone, dlstime, solardepression)

- sunrise(lat, lon, year, month, day, timezone, dlstime)
- solarnoon(lat, lon, year, month, day, timezone, dlstime)
- sunset(lat, lon, year, month, day, timezone, dlstime)
- dusk(lat, lon, year, month, day, timezone, dlstime, solardepression)
- solarazimuth(lat, lon, year, month, day, hour, minute, second, timezone, dlstime)
- solarelevation(lat, lon, year, month, day, hour, minute, second, timezone, dlstime)

where

lat = latidude in degrees

lon = longitude in degrees
timezone = time zone in hours relative to GMT/UTC
dlstime = daylight savings time hours
(0 for no daylight savings, or 1 for yes daylight savings)
solardepression = angle of the sun below the horizon in degrees
for calculation of time of dawn and dusk

The sign convention for inputs to the functions named sunrise, solarnoon, sunset, dawn, dusk,
solarazimuth, and solarelevation is:

- positive latitude decimal degrees for northern hemisphere

- negative longitude degrees for western hemisphere
- negative time zone hours for western hemisphere

The other functions in the VBA module use the original NOAA sign convention of positive
longitude in the western hemisphere.

The calculations in the NOAA Sunrise/Sunset and Solar Position Calculators are based on
equations from Astronomical Algorithms, by Jean Meeus. NOAA also included atmospheric
refraction effects. The sunrise and sunset results were reported by NOAA to be accurate to
within +/- 1 minute for locations between +/- 72° latitude, and within ten minutes outside of those
latitudes.

This Excel VBA translation was tested for selected locations and found to provide results within
+/- 1 minute of the original NOAA Javascript code.

For sunrise and sunset calculations, we assume 0.833° of atmospheric refraction. In the solar
position functions, atmospheric refraction is modeled using equations documented at
http://www.srrb.noaa.gov/highlights/sunrise/calcdetails.html

This VBA translation does not include calculation of prior or next susets for locations above the
Arctic Circle and below the Antarctic Circle, when a sunrise or sunset does not occur.
