Makes an atmosphere vertical profile based on the US Standard Atmosphere 1976 thermophysical model.

Parameters:

levels (array-like, default: np.linspace(0, 1e5, 51) * ureg.m) – Levels altitudes [m]. The values must be sorted by increasing order. Valid range: 0 to 1e6 m.

Returns:

Dataset – Data set holding the values of the pressure, temperature, total number density and number densities of the individual gas species in each layer.

Notes

The pressure, temperature and number densities given in each layer of the altitude mesh are computed at the altitude of the layers centers. In other words, the layer’s middle is taken as the altitude representative of the whole layer. For example, in a layer with lower and upper altitudes of 1000 and 2000 m, the thermophysical variables are computed at the altitude of 1500 m.
