Abstract

Atmospheres typical of the tropics (15N) and subtropics (30N) have been prepared as members of a family of atmospheres, supplemental to the 1962 U.S. Standard Atmosphere; they provide information on latitudinal and seasonal changes in atmospheric structure up to 90 km.

Temperature gradients for various segments are linear with geopotential height. Humidity is incorporated into the lowest 10 km of each atmosphere. Figures and tables depict temperature, relative humidity, pressure and density.
