Summary
The
Standard Atmosphere Model
is a hypothetical
Vertical Distribution
of
Atmospheric Temperature
, pressure, and density which, by
International agreement
, is taken to be representative of the atmosphere for purposes of
Pressure altimeter calibrations
,
Aircraft performance calculations
, aircraft and
Rocket Design
,
Ballistic Tables
, and other related uses. It assumes a
Mean sea level temperature
of 15°C, a
Standard lapse rate
of 6.5°C per kilometer up to the tropopause at 11 km, and various other
Standard Conditions
.
