Ehdotuksen tiedot

This document specifies the structure and properties of the Earth’s atmosphere from ground level to 120 km altitude for aerospace use. It provides information about 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 to forcing from below (the lower atmosphere) and above (by sun / solar wind and geomagnetic activity).
