Physics:Molecular-scale temperature
From HandWiki
The molecular-scale temperature is the defining property of the U.S. Standard Atmosphere, 1962. It is defined by the relationship:
- [math]\displaystyle{ T_m(z)=\frac{M_0}{M(z)}\cdot{T(z)} }[/math]
- Tm(z) is molecular-scale temperature at altitude z;
- M0 is molecular weight of air at sea level;
- M(z) is molecular weight of air at altitude z;
- T(z) is absolute temperature at altitude z.
