Gravity R Documentation
Gravity
Description
Provides the acceleration caused by gravity.
Usage
Gravity(latitude, altitude = 0)
Arguments
latitude
The latitude (or vector of latitudes) in units of degrees N.
altitude
The altitude in meters above the WGS-84 geoid. GPS measurements before
correction to MSL are appropriate to use when supplying this altitude. For detailed accuracy,
correct a variable like GGALT by adding the height of the geoid above the WGS84 reference
ellipsoid. In RAF datasets, this may be present as the variable GGEOIDHT.
Details
The formula used incorporates the dependence on latitude and on altitude above the WGS-84 geoid.
Value
The acceleration of gravity in units of m/s^2
Author(s)
William Cooper
Examples
G <- Gravity (RAFdata$GGLAT, RAFdata$GGALT)
