- Thanks for this easy-to-use calculator.
Calculation based on height of eye.
Allow user to input altitude, using information such as the height of a mountain peak, etc, which are generally given in height above sea level.
For example:
"The upper station is located at Storsteinen, a mountain ledge about 420 m above sea-level"

- Purpose of use
- Determine sun azimuth through the day when measuring track and field event long throws or horizontal jumps. We use surveyors total stations for precise distance and avoid shooting up sun. Expected sun are for the day is important in positioning the instrument for proper view down sun.
