eradiate.thermoprops.us76.tau_function(z_grid, below_500=True)[source]#

Computes the integral given by equation (40) in [NNU76] at each point of an altitude grid.

Parameters

  • z_grid (array-like) – Altitude grid (values sorted by ascending order) to use for integration [km].

  • below_500 (bool) – True if altitudes in z_grid are lower than 500 km, False otherwise.

Returns

array – Integral evaluations [dimensionless].

Notes

Valid for altitudes between 150 km and 500 km.
