Calculation method

Calculation method

Reduced sea-level pressure (hPa)

Isothermal hypsometric reduction p0=p exp(gz/(Rd Tv)), Rd=287.05.

Symbols and units
a
Station pressure (hPa)
b
Station elevation (m)
c
Mean layer virtual temperature (K)

Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.

Assumptions & limits

Assumptions & limits

  • User supplies mean layer virtual temperature. No official meteorological pressure reduction service. Supported limits: All required fields must be finite values of the exact declared type and within displayed bounds. Lists contain1–1000 finite numbers. JSON tables are numeric rectangular rows, at most100 rows and30 columns; individual tools have stricter shape/domain constraints. User supplies mean layer virtual temperature. No official meteorological pressure reduction service.
Are these inputs private?

These calculations run in your browser. A shared link contains the values you choose to share. Only questions submitted to the separate AI finder are sent to OpenAI.
