Abstract
Following a recent work by Verkley and Gerkema, we obtain a pressure-temperature profile for the mesosphere which reproduces rather well the U.S. Standard Atmosphere, 1976 data and the COSPAR International Reference Atmosphere, 1972 as well. This profile results from the maximization of entropy in a column of air in hydrostatic equilibrium, maintaining fixed the mass, the enthalpy and the vertical integral of the potential temperature.
