Enter leaf ID, then click “Capture Sample” to record device orientation (alpha/beta/gamma), time, latitude/longitude/altitude, and computed solar elevation/azimuth. Export all data as CSV.

Before using sensors, allow motion/orientation and location access on your device.

Solar Angle Formulas

Elevation (h) and Azimuth (A) computed in this app follow common remote-sensing approximations:

h = asin( sin(φ)·sin(δ) + cos(φ)·cos(δ)·cos(H) ) [in radians]
A = atan2( sin(H), cos(H)·sin(φ) − tan(δ)·cos(φ) ) [in radians]
(degrees) = (radians) × 180/π
Azimuth A is reported from North, clockwise (0..360).

Symbols:

  • φ: geographic latitude
  • δ: solar declination
  • H: hour angle (H = 15° × (solar time − 12))

Note: The implementation also includes Equation of Time (EoT) and time-zone offset to estimate apparent solar time.
