Wrapper scripts and control functions
get_al_be_age.m Main control function. Takes as input a structure containing sample data and a structure containing constants. Carries out exposure-age calculation and returns a structure containing results.
get_al_be_erosion.m Main control function. Takes as input a structure containing sample data and a structure containing constants. Carries out the erosion rate calculation and returns a structure containing results.
make_al_be_consts_v12.m Creates the .mat file that holds reference production rates and physical constants.
makeEplot.m Makes the Be-10 - Al-26/Be-10 plot.
skyline_in.m Wrapper script for topographic-shielding calculation.

Subsidiary functions
al_be_E_forward.m Objective function for solving erosion rate equation.
angdist.m Computes the angular distance between two points on a sphere specified by latitude and longitude.
antatm.m Returns atmospheric pressure at a given elevation, using an atmosphere approximation for Antarctica.
d2r.m Converts degrees to radians.
P_mu_total.m Computes nuclide production by muons.
r2d.m Converts radians to degrees.
skyline.m Returns a topographic/geometric scaling factor for given horizon geometry and strike/dip of sample surface.
stdatm.m Returns atmospheric pressure at a given elevation using the ICAO standard atmosphere.
stone2000.m Returns an altitude/latitude scaling factor for given latitude and elevation according to the scheme in Stone (2000).
thickness.m Returns a thickness scaling factor for given sample thickness, density, and effective attenuation length for spallogenic production.

Plotting functions
ellipse.m Creates the uncertainty ellipses for the [Be-10]* - [Al-26]*/[Be-10]* plot.
