- standard atmospheric conditions/standard atmosphere
The internationally accepted conditions of the atmosphere to allow all measurements to be brought to the same norms. The standard atmospheric conditions at sea level are pressure: 29.92 in of mercury or 1013.2 hectopascals; temperature: 15°C; acceleration due to gravity: 32.174 ft/s
2 or 9.809 m/s
2 ; air density: 0.002378 slugs/ft
3 or 1.225 kg/m
3 ; and speed of sound: 761 miles/h, 1116.4 ft/s, 1225.35 km/h, or 34,046.16 cm/s. The temperature lapse rate is assumed to be constant at the rate of 1.98°C per 1000 ft (6.5°C per kilometer) up to a height of 36,090 ft (11 km), above which it remains constant at -56.5°C. See
