Module Contents

helikite.processing.conversions.pressure_to_altitude(pressure: float, pressure_at_start: float, temperature_at_start: float, altitude_at_start: float = 0) → float

Convert pressure to altitude

Parameters:

pressure (float) – Pressure to convert to altitude
pressure_at_start (float) – Pressure at start of flight
temp_at_start (float) – Temperature at start of flight
altitude_at_start (float) – Altitude at start of flight (default 0)

Returns:

altitude – Altitude in meters

Return type:

float

Example

>>> pressure_to_altitude(101325, 101325, 20)
0.0
>>> pressure_to_altitude(101325, 101325, 20, 1000)
1000.0
