Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the science of measuring heights through barometric pressure, a method developed by Laplace over a century ago. The author argues the technique is wrought with errors due to temperature fluctuations, humidity variations, and gravity's unequal force, which have been addressed through various formulas and field expedients over the years. The author presents a new method that relies solely on barometric data, eliminating the need for thermometers and psychrometers, which commonly accompany barometric measurements. Beyond the history and technical details of this scientific method, the book emphasizes the importance of understanding environmental disturbances to the atmosphere in order to achieve more accurate altitude readings. Notably, the author believes that a deeper dive into the impact of non-periodic gradients, those shifts in pressure caused by local events such as thunderstorms, will lead to the next breakthrough in barometric hypsometry.
