Default pressure calculations:

Q F E = P o * ( 1.0 + Δ H * G R * T )

Q N H = 1013.25 * ( 1 0.0065 * 44330.77 11880.32 * Q F E 0.190263 H T 0 ) 5.25588

Q F F = Q F E * exp ( G * H R * ( T + A * H / 2 + e * C h ) )

Table 1. Variables in default pressure calculations
Variable Explanation
Po Instant barometric pressure of the sensor on the sensor height in hectopascal (hPa)
ΔH Difference in the height (m) between sensor and station height (reference point)
G Acceleration of gravity (m/s2)
R Constant of gas equation for dry air (287 J/kgK)
T Air temperature in kelvin (K)
H Station height (for example reference point) in meters (m)
T0 Reference temperature (288.15 K)
A Lapse rate (0.0065 K/m)
e Water vapor pressure (hPa)
Ch Elevation constant, 0.1074 + (0.0000251 * H)
