From the “U.S. Standard Atmosphere, 1976,” National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, National Aeronautics and Space Administration and the United States Air Force, 1976. The U.S. Standard Atmosphere, 1976, is an idealized, steady-state representation of the earth’s atmosphere from the surface to 1000 km, as it is assumed to exist in a period of moderate solar activity The
air is assumed to be dry, and at heights sufficiently |
below 86 km, the atmosphere is assumed to |
be homogeneously mixed with a relative-volume |
composition leading to a mean molecular |
weight. |

Values for the permittivity (dielectric constant) and the average electric dipole polarization for ground state molecules are for 293 K.
Debye unit: 1 D = 3.33564 x 10-30 C m.
* Relative to nitrogen. The dielectric strength (or breakdown voltage) of a material depends on the specimen thickness, the electrode shape, and the rate of the applied voltage increase. Values are given for standard conditions.
