ABSTRACT: We have studied the behaviour of the atmospheric profile parameters based on the experimental data from Pierre Auger Observatory South,collected by balloon radio sounding. We introduce a new model based on a parameterization that allows to obtain the atmospheric depth profile according to the temperature in the ground.
