+ * Pressure Sensor Model, version 1.1
+ *
+ * written by Holly Grimes
+ *
+ * Uses the International Standard Atmosphere as described in
+ * "A Quick Derivation relating altitude to air pressure" (version 1.03)
+ * from the Portland State Aerospace Society, except that the atmosphere
+ * is divided into layers with each layer having a different lapse rate.
+ *
+ * Lapse rate data for each layer was obtained from Wikipedia on Sept. 1, 2007
+ * at site <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Standard_Atmosphere
+ *
+ * Height measurements use the local tangent plane. The postive z-direction is up.
+ *
+ * All measurements are given in SI units (Kelvin, Pascal, meter, meters/second^2).
+ * The lapse rate is given in Kelvin/meter, the gas constant for air is given
+ * in Joules/(kilogram-Kelvin).
