EXTENSION OF PROGRAMS FOR CALCULATIONS OF GREAT CIRCLE PATHS AND SUNRISE-SUNSET TIMES
A previous note by Brady and Crombie (NBS TN 209) describes methods and a program for calculating and plotting sunrise and sunset times at specified heights and distances along a great circle path determined by the locations of the end points. The program also plots the distribution of darkness or d...
