title: Application of linear splines to simulate daily changes in insolation
abstract: The paper shows the possibility of using linear splines in modeling the daily change in solar radiation. The calculations were based on the generally accepted cosine expression used for modeling insolation changes on the surface of lakes and the ocean. The equation parameters are set for the conditions of Sevastopol (44°35'N, 33°30' E): the maximum height of the sun above the horizon is about 68 degrees, the day length is 15 hours. The model curve was divided into three sections. For the early m
