w3fa03()

subroutine w3fa03	(		press,
			height,
			temp,
			theta
	)

Computes the standard height, temperature, and potential temperature given the pressure in millibars ( > 8.68 mb ).

For height and temperature the results duplicate the values in the U.S. standard atmosphere (l962), which is the icao standard atmosphere to 54.7487 mb (20 km) and the proposed extension to 8.68 mb (32 km). For potential temperature a value of 2/7 is used for rd/cp.

Parameters

[in]	PRESS	Pressure in millibars.
[out]	HEIGHT	Height in meters.
[out]	TEMP	Temperature in degrees kelvin.
[out]	THETA	Potential temperature in degrees kelvin.

Note

Not valid for pressures less than 8.68 millibars, declare all parameters as type real.
