Atmosphere Flashcards
1
Q
Heights of the layers of the atmosphere
A
Troposphere: up to 11km (36090 ft)
Isothermal: up to 20km
Stratosphere: up to 50km
Mesosphere: up to 80km
2
Q
Key atmospheric pressures and their heights (ISA)
A
0 ft = 1013.25 Hpa up to 10k ft = 700 Hpa up to 18k ft = 500 Hpa up to 30k ft = 300 Hpa up to 38k ft = 200 Hpa up to 52k ft = 100 Hpa
3
Q
Atmospheric pressure lapse rates (ISA)
A
up to 10k ft = 27ft per Hpa
up to 18k ft = 37ft per Hpa
up to 40k ft = 47ft per Hpa
40k ft + = 111ft per Hpa
4
Q
Atmospheric density lapse rates (ISA)
A
at 10k ft = 0.903 kg/m^3 75%
at 22k ft = 0.609 kg/m^3 50%
at 40k ft = 0.302 kg/m^3 25%
