LogScaling

MATLAB

Model = LogScaling(h,base,A,B)

Description

Returns $y = A*{base}^{-(h/B)}$, to be used for generic altitude-dependent, logarithmically-descreasing atmospheric models with surface value A and scale height B.

Parameters

Parameters	Description
h [vector]	Altitude above sea level (arbitrary length units)
base [scale]	Base for logaritmically-decreasing model
A [scalar]	Value of model at h=0 (arbitrary units)
B [scalar]	Scale height of log model (same units as h)

Return Values

Return Values	Description
Model [vector]	Value of function $y=A*{base}^{-(h/B)}$ (same units as A)

Examples

Model = LogScaling(h,exp(1),A,B)
- exponentially-decreasing model
Model = LogScaling(h,10,A,B)
- order of magnitude model
