pprz_isa_density_of_pressure()

static float pprz_isa_density_of_pressure ( float  pressure, float  temp  )

inlinestatic

Get the air density (rho) from a given pressure and temperature.

Parameters

pressure	current pressure in Pascal (Pa)
temp	temperature in celcius

Returns

pprz_isa_height_of_pressure()

static float pprz_isa_height_of_pressure ( float  pressure, float  ref_p  )

inlinestatic

Get relative altitude from pressure (using simplified equation).

Given the current pressure and a reference pressure (at height=0), calculate the height above the reference in meters. If you pass QNH as reference pressure, you get the height above sea level. Using QFE as reference pressure, you get height above the airfield.

Parameters

pressure	current pressure in Pascal (Pa)
ref_p	reference pressure (QFE) when height=0 or QNH at sea level

Returns

height in m above reference in ISA conditions

pprz_isa_height_of_pressure_full()

static float pprz_isa_height_of_pressure_full ( float  pressure, float  ref_p  )

inlinestatic

Get relative altitude from pressure (using full equation).

Given the current pressure and a reference pressure (at height=0), calculate the height above the reference in meters. If you pass QNH as reference pressure, you get the height above sea level. Using QFE as reference pressure, you get height above the airfield.

Parameters
