Uses the distance function from the MATLAB Mapping Toolbox to calculate the arc distance to the sub-solar location. Includes checkSizes function from my general function library.
EarthEphemeris - Returns the solar declination, Earth-Sun radius vector (distance in astronomical units), solar longitude, and optionally the equation of time.
sunang - Returns cosine of sun angle, its azimuth (0 south, + east), and airmass (path length accounting for Earth curvature). Optionally accounts for refraction.
sunRiseSet - Times of sunrise and sunset.
sunslope - Cosine of illumination angle on slope

cleaned up internal folder structure

1.2.2

MATLAB functions calculate azimuths clockwise from North. My convention has been to use counter-clockwise from south, positive east, negative west. I added a function to let the user choose which convention to use.

1.2.1

No change in the code. Added an image showing the Global Daylight example.

1.2

Updated one of the examples

1.1.1

uploaded correct version

removed call to today(), I didn't realize it was in the Financial Toolbox, thanks to Christie for reminder to use clock() instead. Also fixed a glitch in PlotSolarPath.
