org.orekit.models.earth.troposphere.AskneNordiusModel

All Implemented Interfaces:

TroposphericModel, ParameterDriversProvider

public class AskneNordiusModel
extends Object
implements TroposphericModel

The Askne Nordius model.

The hydrostatic part is equivalent to Saastamoinen, whereas the wet part takes into account mean temperature weighted with water vapor pressure and water vapor decrease factor.
