*  Name:
*     palRverot

*  Purpose:
*     Velocity component in a given direction due to Earth rotation

*  Language:
*     Starlink ANSI C

*  Type of Module:
*     Library routine

*  Invocation:
*     double palRverot ( double phi, double ra, double da, double st );

*  Arguments:
*     phi = double (Given)
*        latitude of observing station (geodetic) (radians)
*     ra = double (Given)
*        apparent RA (radians)
*     da = double (Given)
*        apparent Dec (radians)
*     st = double (Given)
*        Local apparent sidereal time.

*  Returned Value:
*     palRverot = double
*        Component of Earth rotation in direction RA,DA (km/s).
*        The result is +ve when the observatory is receding from the
*        given point on the sky.

*  Description:
*     Calculate the velocity component in a given direction due to Earth
*     rotation.
*
*     The simple algorithm used assumes a spherical Earth, of
*     a radius chosen to give results accurate to about 0.0005 km/s
*     for observing stations at typical latitudes and heights.  For
*     applications requiring greater precision, use the routine
*     palPvobs.
