Declination Analysis

As part of the ArborShadow Accuracy Tests.
 
For this test I picked 6 sites (see following table) with a different date  and time setting for each (the correct time difference and daylight saving time was applied where necessary).
Picture
The ArborShadow calculation for the sun's declination was then compared against  3 other on-line sun position calculation tools. See results below:

The actual difference between the ArborShadow value and each of the other calculation tools was then calculated and displayed as a graph (see below).
Picture
The difference for each sample is very small (less than 0.1 degree).
