Analytic Representation of the Jacchia 1977 Model Atmosphere

Abstract

Modified Jacchia-Walker temperature profiles are developed to accurately represent the Jacchia 1977 temperature profiles above 125 km. The diffusive equilibrium equations are analytically integrable for these profiles, greatly reducing the need for tabular storage of solutions.
