-If **use_fixed_date** = .TRUE., the date does not change during a simulation. When PALM reaches 24:00:00 UTC, the time is set to 00:00:00 UTC without the date being changed. This affects, e.g., the solar position during a simulation.\\\\

+If **use_fixed_date** = .TRUE., the calendar day does not change during a simulation. When the simulated time in PALM reaches 24:00:00 UTC, the time is set to 00:00:00 UTC without the calendar day being changed. This affects, e.g., the solar position during the simulation.\\\\
 Example:\\
 If [#origin_date_time origin_date_time] = '2020-07-15 20:00:00 +00', then after 5h simulation time, PALM's clock would be at '2020-07-15 01:00:00 +00'.

-Switch to fix the time within a simulation.\\\\
-If **use_fixed_time** = .TRUE., the time does not change during a simulation, i.e. PALM's clock would always show the value given by [#origin_date_time origin_date_time]. This results in the sun being fixed at a single position during the simulation.
+Switch to fix the time of day within a simulation.\\\\
+If **use_fixed_time** = .TRUE., the time of day does not change during a simulation, i.e. PALM's internal clock would always show the value given by [#origin_date_time origin_date_time]. This results in the sun having a fixed position during the simulation.
