python-standard-atmosphere

Python package for creating pressure and temperature profiles of the standard atmosphere for use with geophysical models. This package will only calcualate good values up to 86km.

Giving Credit Where it's Due

This package is mostly translated from a similar Fortran90 module created by Ralph Carmichael, Public Domain Aeronautical Software.

Details, Details, Details

The package uses the 1976 standard atmosphere. If alt > 86, the values returned will not be correct, but they will not be too far removed from the correct values for density.
