Standard atmosphere

Standard atmosphere

Standard atmosphere can refer to:

* A standard reference value for air pressure:
** Atmosphere (unit), an approximation of the value at sea level
** Atmospheric pressure, other reference values
* A model of how atmospheric pressure varies with altitude:
** The U.S. Standard Atmosphere, a series of models that give values for pressure, density, and temperature over a range of altitudes
** The International Standard Atmosphere (ISA), an international standard model, defining typical atmospheric properties with altitude, at mid-latitude.
