Question

3. We are interested in how the pressure decrease with height changes for atmospheres of different temperatures.Calculate the pressure change in height for three average temperatures 230K, 250K, and 270K. Look at the equation Mairgz R T . where all the terms are the usual variables, po is 1013 hPa and T is the average temperature . So you want to plot the change in pressure with height (a.k.a, altitude, or z) for the three different average temperatures. You can do this in Excel by making one column different values of height (I suggest below 0.5 km separation between rows) and then in three separate columns next to it, you will calculate the pressure change as a function of z for three different temperatures I am assuming that you know how to enter equations into Excel and how to do calculations on columns of numbers. But below are some further instructions to get you started .On a separate sheet of your Excel workbook, label the first column . Click on the A5 box in the lower right corner and pull down until you . In the next column in box B4, enter "-1013 EXP altitude, enter a O in A4, then in A5, put "-A4+0.5". reach 16 km (0.029*9.8 1000 A2)/(8.314 230)) . Then grab the little box that appears in the lower right corner of box B4 when you click on the box and pull it down so that the calculation of p will

Explanation / Answer

5.For a constant altitude, 230K gives the greatest pressure.

6. For a constant pressure, 230K gives us the greatest height.

7.It tells that the 500 mb surfaces should be roughly constant with height from the equator to the poles.
