Air Density Table by Temperature and Altitude

This document provides a table of air density values in kg/m3 at different elevations from sea level to 2400m above sea level and temperatures from -25°C to 40°C. It assumes a standard lapse rate of 6.5K/km and a sea level pressure of 1013.25hPa. Power curves are often referenced to standard conditions of sea level and 15°C. The air density for a specific elevation and mean temperature can be calculated using the WAsP air density calculator.

Air density table


Air density [kg/m3] as a function of elevation Z [m a.s.l.] and mean temperature (from -25C to 40C) at the same elevation.
A lapse rate of 6.5 K/km and a sea level pressure of 1013.25 hPa are assumed.
Power curves are often referenced to 'standard conditions' corresponding to sea level pressure and 15C.
