FME Hub user ewoudvdc just uploaded a new transformer to the FME Hub.Solar Angle CalculatorEwoud Van der Cruyssen - Kavel10 BVOverviewThis transformer calculates the Solar Elevation and Solar Azimuth for a given geographic position and timestamp.It implements the NOAA Solar Position Algorithm, providing highly accurate results (typically within ±0.0005° compared to NOAA’s reference calculator).DescriptionThe Solar Position Calculator determines the position of the sun relative to a point on Earth based on:- Latitude- Longitude- Timestamp (UTC or Local Time)and optionally a Time Zone offset.The transformer computes:- Solar Elevation (degrees): The angle of the sun above the horizon. A value of 0° means the sun is on the horizon, while 90° means it is directly overhead.

Utilities is something that exists unseen, other than some on-the-surface manifestations of the networks, such as manholes, fire hydrants or catch basins.Would you like to know more?

FME Hub user takashi just uploaded a new format to the FME Hub.Reads DEM data file(s) (GML format) of the Japanese Fundamental Geospatial Data (FGD) as raster feature(s).This reader generates one raster feature per one source data file; the feature type name will always be set to "DEMRASTER".You can read any type DEM data (DEM1A, DEM5A, DEM5B, DEM10A, or DEM10B) with this reader, but DO NOT change source data file names since it determines the DEM type based on the naming rule for FGD DEM data files.This reader skips reading a source file when the schema location or the coordinate system defined in the source file is invalid, or the source file name is invalid as an FGD DEM data file. If you don't want to validate schema location, set "No" to the "Validate Schema Location" parameter. This reader considers these srsName as valid, and sets a corresponding coordinate system (EPSG code) to the output
