CL_mod_atmUS76

Description

• Computes temperature, pressure, and density at a given altitude using US76 atmospheric model.

• Notes:

  - The US76 atmospheric model can be used for altitudes in [0 - 1000] km.

  - Altitudes below 0 km are silently enforced to 0 km.

  - Results for altitudes above 1000 km are set to %nan.

  

Parameters

alt :

Altitude [m] (1xN)

temp :

Kinetic temperature [K] (1xN)

pres :

Pressure [Pa] (1xN)

dens :

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