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.

Features

• 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 <https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/>_ format
• Command-line interface
• Python interface

Requirements

• Python 3.8+
