public static HashMap AstronomicParameters(int doy, double latitude);

Calculates day length and other parameters from DOY and latitude

doy Day of year (from 1 to 366)
latitude Latitude in degrees

returns HashMap with values for Daylength, PhotoperiodicDaylength, SolarConstant, a, b, DSINB, DSINBE, SinBetaArea

public static HashMap AstronomicParameters(int doy, double latitude, double
inclination);

Calculates day length and other parameters from DOY, latitude and sun inclination

doy Day of year (from 1 to 366)
latitude Latitude in degrees
inclination Sun inclination in degrees

returns HashMap with values for Daylength, PhotoperiodicDaylength, SolarConstant, a, b, DSINB, DSINBE, SinBetaArea
