Name

CL_mod_atmUS76 — US 76 Atmosphere model

Calling Sequence

   [temp,pres,dens] = CL_mod_atmUS76(alt)
   
   

Description

  • Computes temperature (temp), pressure (pres) and density (dens) at a given altitude (alt), following US 76 atmosphere model.

    NOTE: 1 US 76 atmosphere model is only envisaged for altitudes up to 10^6 m (1000km). 2 If input altitude is negative, computation is performed for alt = 0 m

  • Last update : 24/08/2007

alt:

altitude [m] (1xN)

temp:

kinetic temperature [K] (1xN)

pres:

pressure [Pa] (1xN)

dens:

density [kg/m^3] (1xN)
