    Chapter 7 Barometer Correction Table Table 7.3 MSL Correction Site Specific

    Uploaded by

    Steven Penton
    The document is a barometric pressure correction table that provides adjustments to add to raw barometer readings based on altitude and outside air temperature. It shows that at an altitude of 65 meters, adjustments ranging from 0.00 hPa at 945 hPa and -15°C to 0.80 hPa at 1020 hPa and 30°C need to be added to compensate for altitude and temperature effects on barometric pressure readings. The table provides the necessary corrections for a wide range of station level pressures from 945 to 1020 hPa and temperatures from -15°C to 40°C.
