LogScaling
MATLAB
Model = LogScaling(h,base,A,B)
Description

Returns $y = A*{base}^{-(h/B)}$, to be used for generic altitude-dependent, logarithmically-decreasing atmospheric models with surface value A and scale height B.

Parameters

Description 
h [vector] 
Altitude above sea level (arbitrary length units) 
base [scale] 
Base for logaritmically-decreasing model 
A [scalar] 
Value of model at h=0 (arbitrary units) 
B [scalar] 
Scale height of log model (same units as h) 
Return Values

Description 
Model [vector] 
Value of function $y=A*{base}^{-(h/B)}$ (same units as A) 
Examples
