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.

This is citation of the Technical Report of United States Air Force from 1967. [1]
