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) |
