Abstract
A critical survey was made of the upper atmosphere to an altitude of 300 km, reviewing present knowledge on such factors as composition, winds, temperature, pressuree and diffusion. On the basis of recent information a model atmosphere having a diurnal temperature cycle above 100 km was adopted.Keywords
