Abstract
A systematic approach is presented for the sampling and interpolation over sun path. The annual sun path is described in terms of the ecliptic longitude and hour angle so that all possible positions of the sun are mapped on a rectangular domain. This enables the use of many efficient algorithms, and the bicubic interpolation with Catmull–Rom splines is proposed. It is shown that a sufficiently good accuracy can be achieved with as little as 32 sampling points for a year.
