antatm.m

Syntax:

pressure = antatm(elevation)

This function converts elevation $z$ in meters to atmospheric pressure $p$ in hPa using the pressure-elevation relationship:

$$p(z) = 989.1 \exp{ \left[ \frac{-z}{7588} \right] }$$ (25)

The pressure-elevation relationship is derived from:

Radok, U., Allison, I., and Wendler, G., 1996. Atmospheric pressure over the interior of Antarctica. Antarctic Science 8, pp. 209-217.
