SolarFluxHistorical:

Path: SCPro/ProEnvirons

% Computes the solar flux prediction based on Julian date. 
 The outputs of this function may be used by AtmJ70. Stores the data in a
 persistent variable. Clear the function to reload.

 The database may be  updated from a new history file using
 LoadSolarFluxHistory. 

 Has a built-in demo that plots for no outputs.

   Form:
   jDend = SolarFluxHistorical; % last valid date
                        d = SolarFluxHistorical( jD )
   [aP, f, fHat, fHat400] = SolarFluxHistorical( jD )
