Description
Convert vacuum wavelengths to air wavelengths
Usage
1
vactoair(wave_vac)
Arguments
wave_vac
vacuum wavelength, in Angstroms, scalar or vector
Details
Corrects for the index of refraction of air under standard conditions.
Wavelength values below 2000 A will not be altered. Method from Ciddor (1996). Accurate to about 10 m/s.
Value
wave_air
air wavelength, in Angstroms, scalar -r vector
