Hypsometric Relation

The Hypsometric Relation is a physical meteorological equation that expresses the thickness of a layer of the atmosphere between two pressure levels as a function of the mean virtual temperature of the layer, thereby enabling the derivation of altitude from pressure measurements in hydrostatic balance.
