Detailed Description

This module contains reference temperature and pressure.

  • These pressures are chosen such that the ln of the first pressure has only a few non-zero digits (i.e. ln(pref(1)) = 6.96000) and each subsequent ln(pressure) differs from the previous one by 0.2.
  • These temperatures are associated with the respective pressures for the MLS standard atmosphere.
