Function Documentation

static float pprz_isa_altitude_of_pressure ( float  pressure)
inlinestatic

Get absolute altitude from pressure (using simplified equation).

Referrence pressure is standard pressure at sea level

Parameters
pressurecurrent pressure in Pascal (Pa)
Returns
altitude in m in ISA conditions

Definition at line 75 of file pprz_isa.h.

References PPRZ_ISA_SEA_LEVEL_PRESSURE.

+ Here is the caller graph for this function:

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
pressurecurrent pressure in Pascal (Pa)
ref_preference pressure (QFE) when height=0 or QNH at sea level
Returns
height in m above reference in ISA conditions
