Abstract
Averaged and internally consistent values of atmospheric pressure, density, and temperature from the ground to an altitude of 219 km have been determined and compiled by the United States groups active in upper-atmospheric research by rockets. Additional relevant data by similar groups engaged in research on meteors and on the anomalous propagation of sound are also included, particularly in a brief discussion of variations with time and with place of these three atmospheric parameters.Keywords
