AIAA G-003C-2010（2016）为工程设计或科学研究中使用的选定参考和标准大气模型提供了指南。本指南描述了模型的内容、不确定性和局限性、技术基础、形成模型的数据库、出版物参考资料，以及70多个地球和行星大气模型的计算机代码来源（适用于从地面到4000公里的高度），这些模型在航空航天科学中得到普遍认可。本标准旨在帮助飞机和航天器设计师和开发人员、地球物理学家、气象学家和气候学家理解可用模型，比较数据来源，以及解释基于不同大气模型的工程和科学结果。取代AIAA G-003B-2004。

AIAA G-003C-2010(2016) provides guidelines for selected reference and standard atmospheric models for use in engineering design or scientific research. The guide describes the content of the models, uncertainties and limitations, technical basis, data bases from which the models are formed, publication references, and sources of computer code where available for over seventy (70) Earth and planetary atmospheric models, for altitudes from surface to 4000 kilometers, which are generally recognized in the aerospace sciences. This standard is intended to assist aircraft and space vehicle designers and developers, geophysicists, meteorologists, and climatologists in understanding available models, comparing sources of data, and in-terpreting engineering and scientific results based on different atmospheric models. Replaces AIAA G-003B-2004.
