Module atm_refraction::air

Module containing tools for defining non-standard atmospheric models. A module providing the tooling for atmospheric models.

Structs

Atmosphere

A structure representing an atmospheric model. It provides the temperature and density as functions of altitude

Functions

air_index

Returns the air refractive index for the given wavelength (lambda), at the given pressure (p), temperature (t) and relative humidity (rh)

air_index_minus_1

Returns the air refractive index for the given wavelength (lambda), at the given pressure (p), temperature (t) and relative humidity (rh), decreased by 1

get_atmosphere

Reads an atmosphere definition from file and returns the resulting model

p_sv

calculates the saturated vapor pressure over water

us76_atmosphere

Returns the US-1976 standard model of the Earth’s atmosphere.
