Meteorologists standardize barometric pressure data to sea level so that
surface readings are comparable, whether they’re taken on a mountainside
or by the ocean. To make this same standardization and ensure accurate
readings, enter your elevation in this screen.
Screen 10: Elevation
Note: If you do not know your elevation, there are several ways to find out. Many atlases
and almanacs include elevation for cities and towns. You can also check with the ref-
erence department of your local library. The more accurate you are, the better; but a
reasonable estimate works too.
