= Reference atmospheric model
{wiki=Reference_atmospheric_model}
A reference atmospheric model is a theoretical or computational framework used to describe the structure and properties of Earth's atmosphere under standard or idealized conditions. Such models serve various purposes in fields like meteorology, aerospace engineering, climate science, and environmental studies. They help to establish baseline conditions against which variations can be measured or predicted. \#\#\# Key Features of Reference Atmospheric Models: 1. **Vertical Structure**: Reference models typically provide a profile of temperature, pressure, and density as a function of altitude.
