get_temperature(h: float) → float

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.

set_pressure_SL(unit: ePressure, p: float) → None

Sets the sea level pressure for modeling.

Parameters:

  • pressure – The pressure in the units specified.

  • unit – the unit of measure that the specified pressure is supplied in.

set_temperature(t: float, h: float, unit: eTemperature) → None

Sets the temperature at the supplied altitude.

Parameters:

  • t – The temperature value in the unit provided.

  • h – The altitude in feet above sea level.

  • unit – The unit of the temperature.
