Discrete Kp values in MSAFE loader
The loader for MSAFE files converts nearly continuous Ap values to discrete Kp values. The current method loses information and can produce chaotic behaviour where a small change in the input values creates a disproportionately large change in the output values.
I plan to replace the current conversion method with Jacchia's conversion equation as published in:
Jacchia, L. G. "CIRA 1972, recent atmospheric models, and improvements in progress." COSPAR, 21st Plenary Meeting. Vol. 1. 1978.
