Atmospheric pressure from altitude Calculator
Calculates the atmospheric pressure at the present location from the altitude and temperature, and sea-level pressure. | ||
| The atmospheric pressure observed is adjusted to the equivalent sea level pressure in order to construct the isobaric weather map. If the altitude is more than 11km high above sea level, the hypsometric formula cannot be applied because the temperature lapse rate varies considerably with altitude. |

- Purpose of use
- Calibrating a barometer; comparison between weather maps and pressure read from a THOMMEN CLASSIC mechanical high-precision altimeter.
- Comment/Request
- Done 2017/12/12 in Switzerland at 830m a.s.l. in proximity to a low-pressure system over northern Europe. Sea-level pressure read from weather maps was 996 mbar, the one calculated for 830m a.s.l. was 899mbar, in contrast to 824mbar read from the altimeter. This is too far off, even when local anomalies are taken into account.
