A FORTRAN SUBROUTINE TO CALCULATE AMBIENT PROPERTIES AT VARIOUS ALTITUDES

Abstract

A subroutine uses geometric altitude either in metric or English units to calculate the corresponding atmospheric pressure, density, temperature in both Rankine and Kelvin, speed of sound, and acceleration due to gravity. The subroutine will compute in either English or metric units. A control card is used to make this choice. The program is written in FORTRAN II.
