GetTemperature() [2/2]

virtual double GetTemperature ( double  altitude ) const

pure virtual

Returns the actual modeled temperature in degrees Rankine at a specified altitude.

Parameters

altitude

The altitude above sea level (ASL) in feet.

Returns

Modeled temperature in degrees Rankine at the specified altitude.

Implemented in FGMSIS, FGStandardAtmosphere, and FGMSIS.

GetTemperatureRatio() [1/2]

virtual double GetTemperatureRatio ( ) const

inlinevirtual

Returns the ratio of the at-current-altitude temperature as modeled over the sea level value.

Definition at line 122 of file FGAtmosphere.h.

{ return GetTemperature()/SLtemperature; }

GetTemperatureRatio() [2/2]

virtual double GetTemperatureRatio ( double  h ) const

inlinevirtual

Returns the ratio of the temperature as modeled at the supplied altitude over the sea level value.

Definition at line 126 of file FGAtmosphere.h.

{ return GetTemperature(h)/SLtemperature; }

GetTemperatureSL()

virtual double GetTemperatureSL ( ) const

inlinevirtual

Returns the actual, modeled sea level temperature in degrees Rankine.

InitModel()

bool InitModel ( void  )

overridevirtual

}

Run()

bool Run ( bool  Holding )

overridevirtual

Runs the atmosphere forces model; called by the Executive.

Can pass in a value indicating if the executive is directing the simulation to Hold.

Parameters

Holding

if true, the executive has been directed to hold the sim from advancing time. Some models may ignore this flag, such as the Input model, which may need to be active to listen on a socket for the "Resume" command to be given.

Returns

false if no error

Reimplemented from FGModel.
