pyhelios.wrappers.DataTypes.Location Class Reference

Geographic location for solar position and radiation calculations. More...

Detailed Description

Geographic location for solar position and radiation calculations.

Mirrors latitude in degrees (+N / -S), longitude in degrees

(+W / -E per Helios convention), UTC offset in hours (+moving West), and altitude of the local Cartesian origin in meters above sea level (default 0).

Fields are validated against the same ranges as helios::Location::validate():

Field	Range	Note
latitude	-90 to 90
longitude	-180 to 180	Helios counts longitude positive moving West
utc_offset	-14 to 12	Asymmetric; see below
altitude	any finite value	No non-arbitrary bound exists for a scene

The UTC offset spans -14 to +12 rather than -12 to +12 because Helios counts the offset positive moving West: the real-world span of UTC-12 through UTC+14 (Kiribati keeps the latter) inverts to +12 through -14.
