|  | | |  The ambient air pressure at altitide is rougly estimated by assuming an exponential drop with altitiue and a sea-level pressure of 1 atm. In some circumsrtances this method can give large errors, so should not be relied on.

| | |  In reality, air pressure is dependant not only on altitude, but on factors such as temperature, relative humidity, and weather conditions. However, this rough estimate can be useful for some non-critical applications. | | ||||||
