Usage

MachNumber(P, Q, E = 0)

Arguments

P

A numeric (optionally vector) giving the ambient pressure in hPa

Q

E

A numeric (optionally vector) giving the water vapor pressure in hPa

Details

returns the Mach number calculated from ambient and dynamic pressure and, optionally, corrected for water vapor pressure

Value

A numeric (possible vector) giving the MACH Number
