This paper describes the development of standard and reference atmosphere models along with the history of their origin and use since the mid 19th century. The first 'Standard Atmospheres' were established by international agreement in the 1920's. Later some countries, notably the United States, also developed and published 'Standard Atmospheres'. The term 'Reference Atmospheres' is used to identify atmosphere models for specific geographical locations. Range Reference Atmosphere Models developed first during the 1960's are examples of these descriptions of the atmosphere. This paper discusses the various models, scopes, applications and limitations relative to use in aerospace industry activities.
