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.

The air density for a specific elevation and mean annual air temperature may be calculated with the WAsP air density calculato
at the same elevation.
