4.3.9 BAROMETRIC PRESSURE
The atmospheric pressure is the pressure at any location of
the earth caused by the weight of the column of air above it.
One atmospheric pressure refers to the average pressure and
gradually decreases as altitude increases. Meteorologists use
barometers to measure atmospheric pressure. Because absolute
atmospheric pressure decreases with altitude, meteorologist
correct the pressure relative to sea-level conditions. Hence, your
ABS pressure may read 1000 hPa at altitude of 300m, but the
REL pressure is 1013 hPa.
To obtain accurate REL pressure for your area, consult your local
ocial observatory or check weather website on internet for real
time barometer conditions, and then adjust the relative pressure
in SETUP (section 6.4.1)
