If you want to get a bit more dead nuts you can use the following to get a "Standard Day" ambient (amb) pressure. Take note, this does not take into account actual day conditions of high or low pressures which are real world. This will get you close on an average, sunny, windless, calm.... day. To calculate the standard atmospheric pressure you can use the following, as long as your altitude is less than 36089 ft Pamb in psi= 14.69595 (1-(0.0019812/288.15)ALT)^5.2561 to convert to mb use the following Pamb in mb = (Pamb in psi)(1000)/14.504 /\/\/\/\/\/\//\/\/\/\/\/ as for whether one should use mb, mB, millibar, BAR Hey I just use the Pratt & Whitney Aeronautical Vestpocket Handbook circe 1986 for the conversions in my previous post. That lists convserions for "bar" and crosschecking a CRC gets the same answer. I can swing with mb or mb or even the third one. Just as long as we are all clear that BAR is a proprietary name for Browning Automatic Rifle. pf __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
