The conversion equations depend on the temperature at which the conversion is wanted (usually about 20 to 25 degrees Celsius). At an ambient air pressure of 1 atmosphere (101.325 kPa), the general equation is: = / ()
In these equations, g 0, M and R * are each single-valued constants, while P, L, T, and h are multivalued constants in accordance with the table below. The values used for M , g 0 , and R * are in accordance with the U.S. Standard Atmosphere , 1976, and the value for R * in particular does not agree with standard values for this constant. [ 2 ]
The equation that relates the two altitudes are (where z is the geometric altitude, h is the geopotential altitude, and r 0 = 6,356,766 m in this model): = Note that the Lapse Rates cited in the table are given as °C per kilometer of geopotential altitude, not geometric altitude.
where temperature T is in degrees Celsius (°C) and saturation vapor pressure P is in kilopascals (kPa). According to Monteith and Unsworth, "Values of saturation vapour pressure from Tetens' formula are within 1 Pa of exact values up to 35 °C." Murray (1967) provides Tetens' equation for temperatures below 0 °C: [3]
Since 1982, STP has been defined as a temperature of 273.15 K (0 °C, 32 °F) and an absolute pressure of exactly 1 bar (100 kPa, 10 5 Pa). NIST uses a temperature of 20 °C (293.15 K, 68 °F) and an absolute pressure of 1 atm (14.696 psi, 101.325 kPa). [3] This standard is also called normal temperature and pressure (abbreviated as NTP).
The Arden Buck equations are a group of empirical correlations that relate the saturation vapor pressure to temperature for moist air. The curve fits have been optimized for more accuracy than the Goff–Gratch equation in the range −80 to 50 °C (−112 to 122 °F).
