A PRELIMINARY COMPUTATION OF PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE BETWEEN 100 AND 800 KILOMETERS,
Abstract
Preliminary pressure and temperature data on the atmosphere between altitudes of 100 and 800 km are presented. Data on the density of the atmosphere taken from several sources serve as a basis for deriving mean pressure and temperature. The accuracy of the latter depends on the estimate of molecular weights of the gas mixture at high altitudes. Departures from this mean are caused by geophysical effects originating in solar emanations. (Author)
