Method Details

getPressure

public Real getPressure(Real altitude)

Calculates pressure at a given altitude on Mars. Uses simple exponential model: P = P0 * exp(-h/H) where H ~ 11.1 km Or barometric formula if lapse rate is considered.

Parameters:

altitude - altitude (m)

Returns:

Pressure (Pa)

getTemperature

public Real getTemperature(Real altitude)

Calculates temperature at a given altitude on Mars.

Parameters:

altitude - altitude (m)

Returns:

Temperature (K)
