To calculate the density of air as a function of
altitude, one requires additional parameters. They are listed below, along
with their values according to the International
Standard Atmosphere, using the universal gas constant instead
of the specific one:
|
|
|
|
Temperature at altitude h meters above sea level is
given by the following formula (only valid inside the troposphere):
|
|
T
standard =
|
|
K
|
|
T Non-standard =
|
|
K
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The pressure at
altitude h is given by.

g*M/R/L =
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
p =
|
|
Pa
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Density can then be calculated according to a molar form of the
original formula.
