Atmospheric Pressure

• Pressure Force per unit Area
• Related to Density

18
Vertical Distribution of Mass

• Density mass per unit volume
• Density decreases with increasing altitude
• Figure from apollo.lsc.vsc.edu/classes/met130

19
Pressure Change with Height

• Like density, pressure decreases with increasing
  altitude.
• It does so at a greater rate in the lower
  atmosphere
