Hello All,
I am looking for any readily avilable IDL function which can provide me directly the SOLAR ZENITH ANGLE, SOLAR AZIMUTH ANGLE, SUN-EARTH DISTANCE basing on my inputs - [latitude, longitude, julian day number (e.g., 1-365), UTC hours, UTC minutes, UTC seconds]. Can anyone suggest me???
Thanks in advance.

Did you check out the IDL astronomy library?
