ScalarDensityMsis90 Class

Calculates atmospheric density according to the MSIS 1990 model.

This method is built off of the Fortran code written by Hedin et al. It is valid over the entire atmosphere. Above 72.5 km it is basically an updated MSIS 1986 density model, below 72.5 km it is based on the MAP Handbook (Labitzke et al., 1985), supplemented by other data.

Unlike other density models, this type does not make use of the VectorToSun and instead determines the shape of the atmosphere purely based on the time of day.

If available, the MSIS models will make use of the time varying daily averages for the geomagnetic flux defined by the SolarGeophysicalData instance.

Constructors
  NameDescription
Public methodScalarDensityMsis90

Initializes a Scalar representing the MSIS 1990 model of atmospheric density.

The TargetPoint and SolarGeophysicalData properties must be set before GetEvaluator(EvaluatorGroup) is called.

Public methodScalarDensityMsis90(Point, SolarGeophysicalData)
Initializes a Scalar representing the MSIS 1990 model of atmospheric density using the target point and solar-geophysical data.
Protected methodScalarDensityMsis90(ScalarDensityMsis90, CopyContext)
Initializes a new instance as a copy of an existing instance.

Properties
  NameDescription
Public propertyAverageSolarRadioFluxLagSeconds
Gets the value for the time lag used when modeling when to apply the values of AverageSolarRadioFlux to the atmosphere. MSIS models use no time lag for average solar flux.
Public propertyCentralBody
Gets or sets the central body of the atmosphere described by the density model. This is set to the Earth by default.
(Inherited from ScalarAtmosphericDensity.)
Public propertyDimension
Gets the dimension of the values produced by the object. For example, Vectors would have a dimension of three, and Scalars of one. A PartialDerivativesEvaluator created by this type will have a "RowDimension" equal to this property, and a "ColumnDimension equal to the summation of the dimensions of the independent variables that this object is dependent on.
Public propertyGeomagneticFluxLagSeconds
Gets the value for the time lag used when modeling when to apply the values of GeomagneticFlux to the atmosphere. MSIS models use no time lag for geomagnetic flux.
Public propertyIsFrozen
Gets a value indicating whether this object is frozen. A frozen object cannot be modified and an ObjectFrozenException will be thrown if an attempt is made to do so.
(Inherited from DefinitionalObject.)
Public propertyLowerHeightLimit
Gets the lower bound of the height (in meters above the ellipsoid) for which this density model is valid. MSIS 1990 is valid all the way down to the Earth's surface, so this property returns zero.
(Overrides ScalarAtmosphericDensityLowerHeightLimit.)
Public propertySolarGeophysicalData
Gets or sets the solar and magnetic flux information.
(Inherited from ScalarAtmosphericDensity.)
Public propertySolarRadioFluxLagSeconds
Gets the value for the time lag used when modeling when to apply the values of SolarRadioFlux to the atmosphere. MSIS models use a time lag of one day.
Public propertyTargetPoint
Gets or sets the target point describing the time-varying position at which density is to be calculated.
(Inherited from ScalarAtmosphericDensity.)
Public propertyUpperHeightLimit
Gets or sets the upper bound of the height (in meters above the ellipsoid) above which this density model will return a value of zero. The default value is 2500000 meters.
(Overrides ScalarAtmosphericDensityUpperHeightLimit.)
Public propertyVectorToSun
Gets or sets the vector to the sun to use for modeling the effects of solar radiation on the atmosphere. By default, this is set to represent the apparent displacement from the Earth to the Sun based on light time delay and aberration from the relative motion of the celestial bodies. Setting this to use the true displacement will be slightly less accurate but take less time to compute. However, not all density models will use the Sun's position.
(Inherited from ScalarAtmosphericDensity.)

Methods
  NameDescription
Public methodAdd(Double)
Adds a fixed scalar to this one.
(Inherited from Scalar.)
Public methodAdd(Scalar)
Adds another scalar to this one.
(Inherited from Scalar.)
Protected methodCheckForSameDefinition(DefinitionalObject)
Checks to determine if another instance has the same definition as this instance and returns if it does. Derived classes MUST override this method and check all new fields introduced by the derived class for definitional equivalence. It is NOT necessary to check base class fields because the base class will already have done that. When overriding this method, you should NOT call the base implementation because it will return for all derived-class instances. Derived classes should check the type of other to preserve the symmetric nature of IsSameDefinition(Object).
(Inherited from Scalar.)
Protected methodCheckForSameDefinition(Scalar)
Checks to determine if another instance has the same definition as this instance and returns if it does. Derived classes MUST override this method and check all new fields introduced by the derived class for definitional equivalence. It is NOT necessary to check base class fields because the base class will already have done that. When overriding this method, you should NOT call the base implementation because it will return for all derived-class instances. Derived classes should check the type of other to preserve the symmetric nature of IsSameDefinition(Object).
(Inherited from ScalarAtmosphericDensity.)
Protected methodCheckForSameDefinition(ScalarAtmosphericDensity)
Checks to determine if another instance has the same definition as this instance and returns if it does. Derived classes MUST override this method and check all new fields introduced by the derived class for definitional equivalence. It is NOT necessary to check base class fields because the base class will already have done that. When overriding this method, you should NOT call the base implementation because it will return for all derived-class instances. Derived classes should check the type of other to preserve the symmetric nature of IsSameDefinition(Object).
