Hello John, You could use the definition : local suntime of the meridian .. degrees. ( or mention the name of a city on that meridian ) However, in my programs I use the definition : standard time. If the EoT is taken into into account you could use : standard time with EoT correction or clock time. or civil time. I am aware of the fact that more definitions are used all over the world.
