Variation of Pressure in the atmosphere. The pressure of the atmosphere decreases as we move higher in the atmosphere. The decrease in pressure is proportional to the decrease in density of air. р = 2|2° P P Where P = pressure at any point in the atmosphere, and p = density of air at any point in the atmosphere Po pressure at sea level = 1.013 x 105 Pa, and Po air density at sea level = 1.3 kg/m³. a) What is the density p in terms of po, P, and Po? b) Start from the formula dP = - p g dy to determine the pressure at any height y.
