/**
 * \file ERF_IBSEBSolar.H
 * \brief Sun position, clear-sky shortwave, and the ray cast that decides
 *        whether a building face is in shadow.
 *
 * The solar geometry (Spencer's declination and equation of time, the hour
 * angle from UTC and the site longitude, the zenith, the clockwise-from-north
 * azimuth, the Earth-Sun distance) is kept here: the radiation models use
 * the CESM orbital formulation of ERF_OrbCosZenith.H, which gives no
 * azimuth. The clear-sky formulas follow Bird (1984) as used by the SLUCM
 * branch. The ray cast is new here.
 *
 * **Sun vector convention.** ``ibseb_sun_vector()`` returns the unit vector
 * from a surface toward the sun, with azimuth measured clockwise from north:
 * east is +x, north is +y, so ``s = (sin z sin a, sin z cos a, cos z)`` with
 * z the zenith angle and a the azimuth. A face with outward normal n receives
 * direct beam only when ``n . s > 0``.
 *
 * References: Spencer (1971); Duffie and Beckman (1991); Iqbal (1983);
 * Bird and Hulstrom (1981).
