atmoslapse
Use Lapse Rate Atmosphere model
Syntax
Description
[
implements the mathematical representation of the lapse rate atmospheric equations for
ambient temperature, pressure, density, and speed of sound for the input geopotential
altitude. To customize this atmospheric model, specify the atmospheric properties in the
function input. T

[
indicates that the values for ambient temperature, pressure, density, and speed of sound are
for below mean sea level geopotential altitudes. T

)
The function holds temperature and pressure values below the geopotential altitude of
height0
and above the geopotential altitude of the tropopause. The
function calculates the density and speed of sound using a perfect gas relationship.
