The influence of an atmospheric model on shower reconstruction is studied. In the fluorescence detection technique, one of the key measurements is the depth of shower maximum in the atmosphere, Xmax . The altitude corresponding to Xmax depends considerably on distributions of atmospheric pressure and temperature, used in the shower reconstruction. In this paper, measured atmospheric profiles at different geographic locations are compared to the US Standard Atmosphere model. A study of the atmospheric effect in shower reconstruction as a function of shower inclination and energy is done. Seasonal variations of atmosphere are shown to affect considerably the Xmax determination.
