Space environment (natural and artificial) — Earth standard atmosphere: ground level to 120 km for aerospace use

Scope

This document specifies the structure and properties of the Earth’s atmosphere from 30 km to 120 km for aerospace use. It provides internationally accepted empirical models that specify the details of the atmosphere. Additionally, it describes assimilative models widely used for meteorological forecasting. It also refers to widely-accepted physical models providing insight into the physical and chemical processes driving the response of the atmosphere
