angle_of_rotation_from_solar_azimuth_to_platform_azimuth

Standard names for "platform" describe the motion and orientation of the vehicle from which observations are made e.g. aeroplane or ship. An angle of rotation is reckoned positive in the anticlockwise direction. The "angle_of_rotation_from_solar_azimuth_to_platform_azimuth" is the angle of rotation between the solar azimuth angle and the platform azimuth angle. Solar azimuth angle is the horizontal angle between the line of sight to the sun and a reference direction which is often due north. The angle is measured clockwise. Platform azimuth angle is the horizontal angle between the line of sight to the platform and a reference direction which is often due north. The angle is measured clockwise.
