| # Actual atmospheric pressure in hPa | |
| aap = 990 | |
| # Actual temperature in Celsius | |
| atc = 10 | |
| # Height above sea level | |
| hasl = 500 | |
| # Adjusted-to-the-sea barometric pressure | |
| a2ts = aap + ((aap * 9.80665 * hasl)/(287 * (273 + atc + (hasl/400)))) | |
| # in standard places (hasl from 100-800 m, temperature from -10 to 35) | |
| # is the coeficient something close to hasl/10, meaning simply | |
| # a2ts is about aap + hasl/10 |
Great question.
Also would like to know where the formula came from, because it looks a lot different than all the other one's coming up in my research and yet it seems to work beautifully.
Cannot say the same about the last statement that in general aap + hasl/10 is close enough. For me it's not.
