settings module

Define and initialize global variables necessary to share information between modules.

settings.finalize(totaltime)

Finalize the simulation.

settings.init(path_input)

Initialize global variables including altitude and temperature.

The altitude and temperature data are read in from files and then used to build the rest of the background atmosphere. This read may need to be depreated since there are now other methods for setting the temperature profile.

settings.printMessage(totaltime)

settings.stopEOM(message)

Print a message and exit cleanly upon error.
