SatelliteToolboxAtmosphericModels.jl

This package implements atmospheric models for the SatelliteToolbox.jl ecosystem. Currently, the following models are available:

  • Exponential atmospheric model according to [1];
  • Harris-Priester [2] and modified Harris-Priester [3];
  • Jacchia 1977 [4];
  • Jacchia-Roberts 1971;
  • Jacchia-Bowman 2008; and
  • NRLMSISE-00.
