Air pressure above sea level can be calculated as. p = 101325 (1 - 2.25577 10-5 h) 5.25588 (1) where . 101325 = normal temperature and pressure at sea level (Pa) p = air pressure (Pa) h = altitude above sea level (m) Example - Air pressure at Elevation 10000 m. The air pressure at altitude 10000 m can be calculated as

What is the correct derivation of the variation of air pressure (of the atmosphere) with height? Now, there are various levels of accuracy that one could strive for. The formula will contain factors for both density of air and temperature of air, and both of those will change with height.
Air pressure, P , decreases exponentially with the height, h, in meters above sea level. The unit of air pressure is called an atmosphere; at sea level, the air pressure is 1 atm.
Aerodynamics Formulas. Definitions. p = The air pressure. (Pa = N/m2) ρ = The air density. (kg/m3) g = The gravitational constant. (Value at sea level is 9.81N/kg) (N/kg) h = The height above the earth surface. (m) V = The speed of the airplane relative to the air. (m/s) p.
The global mean pressure at the surface of the Earth is PS = 984 hPa, slightly less than the mean sea-level pressure because of the elevation of land. We deduce the total mass of the atmosphere ma: (2.2) where R = 6400 km is the radius of the Earth. The total number of moles of air in the atmosphere is Na = ma/Ma = 1.8x10 20 moles. Exercise 2-1.
The standard way to discuss altitude is above sea level. At sea level, 0’, the atmospheric pressure is measured as 29.92” Hg. Reading an altimeter is fairly simple, an image of one is provided below. Thinnest needle measures in 10,000 ft. Thickest needle measures in 1,000 ft.
The mean sea-level pressure (MSLP) is the atmospheric pressure at mean sea level. This is the atmospheric pressure normally given in weather reports on radio, television, and newspapers or on the Internet . The altimeter setting in aviation is an atmospheric pressure adjustment.
