Path: Interplanetary/Envionment
% Compute the environment parameters for a selected planet.
Calculate the optical fluxes, atmospheric density, and magnetic field
at specific locations and dates at a planet, including eclipses. This
data is required by the disturbance model. Magnetic field models are
available for Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune. Atmospheric models are
included for Mercury, Venus, Mars, Pluto, and Europa.
