eradiate.thermoprops.us76.tau_function#
- eradiate.thermoprops.us76.tau_function(z_grid, below_500=True)[source]#
Computes the integral given by equation (40) in [NASA et al., 1976] 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.
