Fig. 1. Barometric pressure as a function of altitude. The left-hand ordinate plots absolute pressure in kPa and the right-hand one scales pressure as a percentage of sea-level value. The solid curve is calculated from West (West, 1998). Dashed lines connect altitudes and estimated relative barometric pressures of various localities or summits.
