DOUBLE PRECISION FUNCTION sla_GMST (UT1) *+ * - - - - - * G M S T * - - - - - * * Conversion from universal time to sidereal time (double precision) * * Given: * UT1 dp universal time (strictly UT1) expressed as * modified Julian Date (JD-2400000.5) * * The result is the Greenwich mean sidereal time (double * precision, radians). * * The IAU 1982 expression (see page S15 of 1984 Astronomical * Almanac) is used, but rearranged to reduce rounding errors. * This expression is always described as giving the GMST at * 0 hours UT. In fact, it gives the difference between the * GMST and the UT, which happens to equal the GMST (modulo * 24 hours) at 0 hours UT each day. In this routine, the * fractional UT is used directly as the argument for the * standard formula, and the fractional part of the UT is * added separately; note that the factor 1.0027379... does * not appear. * * Called: sla_DRANRM * * P.T.Wallace Starlink November 1988 *- IMPLICIT NONE DOUBLE PRECISION UT1 DOUBLE PRECISION sla_DRANRM DOUBLE PRECISION D2PI,S2R PARAMETER (D2PI=6.283185307179586476925287D0, : S2R=0.7272205216643039849D-4) DOUBLE PRECISION TU * Julian centuries from fundamental epoch J2000 to this UT TU=(UT1-51544.5D0)/36525D0 * GMST at this UT sla_GMST=sla_DRANRM(MOD(UT1,1D0)*D2PI+ : (24110.54841D0+ : (8640184.812866D0+ : (0.093104D0-6.2D-6*TU)*TU)*TU)*S2R) END
