太阳的位置,时间等式:错误27天

标签: math physics astronomy azimuth

我正在努力改进美国海军天文台的algorithm for calculating the position of the sun,以更简单的方式编写,所有数字都已正确识别 - 所以普通人也可以理解它。

但不知何故,时间等式已经过了27天。也许有人在这里可以发现什么是错的?

试运行:

1) Failure:
test_equation_of_time(TestSolarCalculations):
Expected 2011-10-01 10:23:00 UTC, not 2011-10-28 10:59:31 UTC.

2) Failure:
test_suns_declination(TestSolarCalculations):
Expected -3.18, not -3.2087920449753007.

新算法:

答案 0 :(得分:1)

下面:

def suns_apparent_ecliptic_longitude
  suns_mean_longitude 
  + SUNS_GEODETIC_PRECESSION * sin(suns_mean_anomaly) 
  + EARTHS_ORBITAL_ECCENTRICITY * sin(2 * suns_mean_anomaly)
end
你是混合单位。 suns_mean_longitude是弧度,SUNS_GEODETIC_PRECESSION也是如此(因此第二项也是如此),但EARTHS_ORBITAL_ECCENTRICITY0.020

此外:

EARTHS_APPROXIMATE_ATMOSPHERIC_REFRACTION = degrees_to_radians 0.01671

应该只是

EARTHS_APPROXIMATE_ATMOSPHERIC_REFRACTION = 0.01671

我认为,因为这用于确定距离的公式

另外,

def suns_right_ascension
  atan2(cos(suns_apparent_ecliptic_longitude) * sin(suns_apparent_ecliptic_longitude), cos(suns_apparent_ecliptic_longitude)) / 15
end

我还没有检查过这个atan2函数返回的单位 - 你确定它是度数,它必须是为了除以15才有意义吗?

可能还有其他问题;这些只是我能看到的。

它在哪里使用?

可能是Ruby浮点数的精度问题,而不是程序逻辑的问题?我没有使用ruby,但似乎根据这个帖子存在ruby浮点运算中存在的一些问题。 Issue with precision of Ruby math operations

根据帖子,您可能需要使用BigDecimal类进行浮点运算。我实际上没有通过你的程序,这只是猜测。
