% Computes the atmospheric density using Jacchia's 1970 model or scale heights.
Jacchia is only valid above 80 km, so this function switches to scale
heights at 80 km to give a smooth curve.
Type AtmJ70ToGround for a demo.
See also AtmJ70, AtmDens2, and SolarFluxPrediction.
With one argument d.jD and d.rECI may be arrays.

Form:
rho = AtmJ70ToGround( d );
rho = AtmJ70ToGround( h, d )
