Abstract
The vertical structure of the atmosphere is known to vary quite appreciably from place to place, especially from latitude to latitude, and also in time, especially from season to season. In spite of this, however, the mean vertical structure is such an expressive climatic characteristic of the state of the atmosphere as a whole that meteorologists have coined the special term “standard atmosphere” and have worked out for it a whole series of increasingly accurate empirical models.
