Some of the info which was in this article before it was mangled into a redirect could usefully be brought back. However, those earlier articles omitted the key feature (IMHO) namely that the ISA is a tabulation of variation with altitude. Linuxlad 19:59, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
I've made some comments on your talk page. Basically there should be a clear route to the International Standard Atmosphere and/or Standard Atmosphere as a tabulation of the key thermodynamic variables with altitude. This was a bit lost in earlier versions (though there was some info implied by the lapse rate); then totally lost, in the redirect to STP!. Additionally, I don't think many non-US workers would go to US Standard Atmosphere first, nor to the rather cryptic NRLMSISE-00 reference (despite the fact that, at the last, this might be the most complete article.) But happy (or, at least, content) as long as punters can get there in at most 2 steps (which they couldn't before). Linuxlad 12:32, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
Fine. Actually, (blush) I've rather assumed the UoS model is 1976, because some others listed were (but the UoS web page doesn't appear to say) . But it _could_ be 1993 (3rd edition?). I think the principal difference is how high they're defined to. The Batchelor tab would appear to be 1958, and he refers to it as 'The Standard Atmosphere:..., accepted by international agreement'.

I propose to merge the current ICAO Standard Atmosphere article into this one, International Standard Atmosphere. I believe they refer to the same thing -- the standard atmosphere defined by ICAO is called the ISA. They have the same content. The resulting article should be ISA, because: a) it has more, and better-written, content; b) it has more links to it; and c) I think it's the more correct name. The ICAO Standard Atmosphere article would become a redirect to ISA. Although the merge instructions say I can be bold and just do it, I'll let discussion happen for a few days before I act. I've tagged the articles to indicate the proposed merge. Your comments? -- Jdlh | Talk 03:56, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
As it was indicated before the right name for the ICAO Standard Atmosphere is Internationa Standard Atmosphere. it has not relationship with ISO despite the similarities in their names... I agree to merge both references in the last one. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.48.120.252 ( talk) 05:00, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
The Icao standards relate to the aircraft operating and maintenance industry, there are many ICAO standards. To merge this standard with the ISO would take it out of it's exclusiveness to the aircraft world. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.169.32.250 ( talk) 14:15, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
The ISA model divides the atmosphere into layers with linear temperature distributions......The tabulation continues to 11 km where the pressure has fallen to 7.5 kPa and the temperature to −56.5 °C.
This doesn't tie up to the detail in the table for 11km, 22,632 Pa At first glance the table data appears to be correct, see the formula and table at Pressure altitude and the entry for (36,090ft - circa 11km)
The online reference number 3 http://www.aeromech.usyd.edu.au/aero/atmos/atmtab.html quoted as a source gives a 404 error. M100 ( talk) 00:57, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
