Dr. Schweiger,
I'm attempting to put together a rudimentary model of the density of the Martian atmosphere. In my search for data, I went through the Orbiter 2009 technotes and documentation the other day, but I was unable to find a summary of the Mars atmospheric model that you have implemented in Orbiter. I do see that in Appendix B.6 "Atmospheric Parameters", various relevant constants are given. However, I did not see how those parameters were applied to generate a model of the Martian atmosphere. Could you point me towards the internal Orbiter documentation or the external paper/reference you used to calculate these values? It would be greatly appreciated!
(PS: If anyone has this information or even knows how the model was implemented directly, feel free to chime in.)
