Abstract

The atmosphere is the layer of gases that surrounds the planet. The atmosphere is retained by the gravity of the planet. Hence, it is also called planetary atmosphere. The performance of the aircraft and rockets depends on the physical properties of the atmosphere in which they fly. It is therefore advisable to study the variation of pressure, temperature, and density with the altitude. The real atmosphere is composed of dust, water vapor, and moisture, and it never remains constant. Hence, a hypothetical model called a standard atmosphere was employed. This chapter elaborates the international standard atmosphere, atmospheric boundary layer, and the stability of the atmosphere.
