Station Pressure Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the Station Pressure.
Pstn = Pa * ( ( 288-.0065*h)/288)^5.2561
- Where Pstn is the Station Pressure (inHg)
- Pa is the altimeter pressure (inHg)
- h is the station height (m)
How to Calculate Station Pressure?
The following two example problems outline how to calculate the Station Pressure.
Example Problem #1:
- First, determine the altimeter pressure (inHg). In this example, the altimeter pressure (inHg) is given as 1.25.
- Next, determine the station height (m). For this problem, the station height (m) is given as 1000.
- Finally, calculate the Station Pressure using the equation above:
Pstn = Pa * ( ( 288-.0065*h)/288)^5.2561
Inserting the values from above and solving the equation:
Pstn = 1.25 * ( ( 288-.0065*1000)/288)^5.2561 = 1.108 (inHG)
Example Problem #2:
Using the same process as above, first define the variables required by the formula. In this case, these values are:
altimeter pressure (inHg) = .65
station height (m) = 4000
Entering these values yields:
Pstn = .65 * ( ( 288-.0065*4000)/288)^5.2561 = .395 (inHg)
