7.4 tau.for 

This is an equally simple tool to calculate the atmospheric attenuation due to various sun altitude angles. The program quotes for sun altitude angle and for vertical atmospheric transmittance and displays the resulting reduction in transmittivity, as well as some other variables (e.g. "mass of the atmosphere").
