% get_apriori: finds apriori values from model ionospheres
% GUISDAP v.8.2 03-08-27 Copyright EISCAT, Huuskonen&Lehtinen

% This function find the center altitudes of the analysis gates and calls
% ionomodel to get the model ionosphere for these altitudes.
% Next, all zero lag measurements are used to get an initial estimate for
% the electron density
