public AzoulayModel(double pressure,
                    double temperature,
                    double moisture,
                    double geodeticAltitude,
                    boolean isGeometricElevation)

Parameters:

pressure - the ground atmospheric pressure [Pa]

temperature - the ground atmospheric temperature [K]

moisture - the ground atmospheric moisture [percent]

geodeticAltitude - the ground point geodetic altitude [m]

isGeometricElevation - true if the computed correction is used to get the true elevation from the geometric elevation value, false if it is used to get the geometric elevation from the true elevation value
