Atmospheric Pressure vs Altitude

Pressure At Sea Level Is About 100,000 pascals Or 100 kilopascals Or 1 bar Or 1000 millibars.
(Or 29.61 inch mercury [inHg] @ 59°F/288.15 kelvin).




For high altitudes within the troposphere, the following equation (the
Barometric formula) relates atmospheric pressure p to altitude h where the constant parameters are as described below:

Parameter Description Value
p0 sea level standard atmospheric pressure 101325 Pa
L temperature lapse rate, = g/cp for dry air 0.0065 K/m
cp constant pressure specific heat ~ 1007 J
T0 sea level standard temperature 288.15 K
g Earth-surface gravitational acceleration 9.80665 m/s2
M molar mass of dry air 0.0289644 kg/mol
R universal gas constant 8.31447 J/(mol•K)
