function [gtime]=gregorian(julian) %GREGORIAN Converts Julian day numbers to corresponding % Gregorian calendar dates. Although formally, % Julian days start and end at noon, here Julian days % start and end at midnight for simplicity. % % In this convention, Julian day 2440000 begins at % 0000 hours, May 23, 1968. % % Usage: [gtime]=gregorian(julian) % % julian... input decimal Julian day number % % gtime is a six component Gregorian time vector % i.e. gtime=[yyyy mo da hr mi sec] % gtime=[1989 12 6 7 23 23.356] % yr........ year (e.g., 1979) % mo........ month (1-12) % d........ corresponding Gregorian day (1-31) % h........ decimal hours % julian=julian+5.e-9; % kludge to prevent roundoff error on seconds % if you want Julian Days to start at noon... % h=rem(julian,1)*24+12; % i=(h >= 24); % julian(i)=julian(i)+1; % h(i)=h(i)-24; secs=rem(julian,1)*24*3600; j = floor(julian) - 1721119; in = 4*j -1; y = floor(in/146097); j = in - 146097*y; in = floor(j/4); in = 4*in +3; j = floor(in/1461); d = floor(((in - 1461*j) +4)/4); in = 5*d -3; m = floor(in/153); d = floor(((in - 153*m) +5)/5); y = y*100 +j; mo=m-9; yr=y+1; i=(m<10); mo(i)=m(i)+3; yr(i)=y(i); [hour,min,sec]=s2hms(secs); gtime=[yr(:) mo(:) d(:) hour(:) min(:) sec(:)];
