Atmospheric Thermodynamics Programs

For the HP48SX scientific calculator

The Atmospheric Thermodynamic (AT) program calculates the thermodynamic properties of humid air, various meteorological parameters, and associated energy transfers.

The HP48SX calculator came out in the 1990's and was the leading programmable scientific calculator at the time. The popularity of the HP48SX led devotees to come up with a HP48 emulator which can run on a personal computer. The emulator has all the features of the original calculator and is much faster; a calculation that took 10 minutes on the real calculator takes 3 seconds on the PC emulator – a speed increase of 200 times.
