This is a small package I did as my initial foray into Julia beyond the ‘learn by watching tutorials’ stage. Programmatically accesses the NASA ModelWeb site and uses their web interface to execute the MSISE00 earth atmosphere model, putting the results in a DataFrame.
By way of introduction, I’m a physicist who started coding in Fortran before F77 was a thing. Now, nearing retirement, I’ve found my next language: Julia.
The package is available at: WebMSISE00.jl
There’s a Pluto notebook at the repo as well. I figured this might be of some use in an educational environment… pull in a real atmosphere to, for example, show how drag impacts satellite orbits.
Enjoy!
