It was written in FORTRAN, and is accessible at ftp://hanna.ccmc.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/modelweb/atmospheric/msis/nrlmsise00/ A C port of the model by Dominik Brodowskihas become popular, and is available on his website: http://www.brodo.de/space/nrlmsise/. In 2013 Joshua Milas ported the C port to Python. This is an interface to his excellent port. It is a 1000-sloc model, and has been rigorously tested against the C version, and the online calculation tool available at [3]_ for parametric inputs of latitude, longitude, altitude, time of day and day of year. This model is based on measurements other than gravity; it does not provide a calculation method for `g`. It does not provide transport properties. This model takes on the order of ~2 ms.

The *azimuth* the angle in degrees that the sun is East of the North angle. It is positive North eastwards 0° to 360°. Other conventions may be used.
