The U.S. Standard Atmosphere 1976 model.
This package implements the atmosphere thermophysical model provided by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration technical report NASA-TM-X-74335 published in 1976 and entitled U.S. Standard Atmosphere, 1976.
- Run the U.S. Standard Atmosphere 1976 model on your custom altitude grid
- Compute all 14 atmospheric variables of the model as a function of altitude:
- air temperature
- air pressure
- number density (of individual species)
- air number density
- air density
- air molar volume
- air pressure scale height
- air particles mean speed
- air particles mean free path
- air particles mean collision frequency
- speed of sound in air
- air dynamic viscosity
- air kinematic viscosity
- air thermal conductivity coefficient
- Results stored in NetCDF format
- Command-line interface
- Python interface
- Python 3.8+
You can install USSA1976 via pip from PyPI:
