seasonal_solar module
Computes insolation, orbital distance, and declination for an eccentric planet, using formulas from Berger/Pan (JAS, 35, 1978). Dr. Russell Deitrick coded this up in the Matlab version of the EBM.
- param xi:
1D array of sin(latitude) values.
- param obl:
Obliquity in degrees.
- param ecc:
Orbital eccentricity.
- param long:
Longitude in degrees.
- param star:
Stellar type (e.g., 'F', 'G', 'K', or 'M') used to get broadband albedo parameters.
- returns:
2D array (npts x nts) of insolation (W/m²). distance : 1D array of normalized orbital distances. delt : 1D array of declination values (in degrees).
- rtype:
insol
