8 * An atmospheric temperature/pressure model based on the International Standard Atmosphere
9 * (ISA). The no-argument constructor creates an {@link AtmosphericModel} that corresponds
10 * to the ISA model. It is extended by the other constructors to allow defining a custom
11 * first layer. The base temperature and pressure are as given, and all other values
12 * are calculated based on these.
14 * TODO: LOW: Values at altitudes over 32km differ from standard results by ~5%.
