  • $\begingroup$ Speaking of physical data, I also looked into the StandardAtmosphere package, and I think this really should be flagged as obsolete and deprecated. It produces output that has units attached to them that are incompatible with the current Units system in Mathematica. For example, after loading the StandardAtmosphere package, KineticTemperature[5000 Meter] produces 255.676 Kelvin, but this cannot be processed by things like Magnitude or UnitConvert. Pressure[5000 Meter] gives a result of 540.48 Bar Milli, which is again not compatible with the Units system. $\endgroup$ Commented Aug 25, 2016 at 1:08
  • $\begingroup$ Yes, there are a few banners missing for some packages in guide/StandardExtraPackages. $\endgroup$ Commented Aug 25, 2016 at 1:23
  • $\begingroup$ Is there a replacement for StandardAtmosphere? $\endgroup$ Commented Aug 25, 2016 at 1:43
  • $\begingroup$ Yes, there is StandardAtmosphereData. AirPressureData and friends can also be useful. $\endgroup$ Commented Aug 25, 2016 at 1:46

    $\begingroup$ I would recommend evaluating ?*Data to see what computable data are available. Usually groups of them are gathered in common guide pages, like for instance "guide/PhysicsAndChemistryDataAndComputation" for ChemicalData, ThermodynamicData and ParticleData (and others). $\endgroup$ Commented Aug 25, 2016 at 2:08
