Calculate Elevation from Atmospheric Pressure
Calculates the elevation of the current location based on the local atmospheric pressure, temperature, and sea-level pressure.
| Elevation at Current Location h | m |
The atmospheric pressure values shown on weather charts are calibrated to an elevation of 0 meters.
This calculation cannot be applied at locations higher than the troposphere (approximately 11 km), as the rate of temperature decrease differs at those altitudes.
