This chapter is an applied study of the Earth’s atmosphere. This is the differentiation point between legacy maritime navigation and air navigation. The atmosphere is the framework for flight. Flight dynamics allow the calculation of the flight trajectory with respect to the air. As the atmosphere is itself on the move, for the purpose of navigation, the aerodynamic trajectory needs to be converted to the ground reference, using the wind vector field. Starting with the basic principles of atmosphere physics, this Chapter presents the flight instruments measuring air pressure and airflow direction (aerodynamic instruments).
