Vertical and horizontal pressure gradients in hydrostatic

Last updated: 11/5/2023

Vertical and horizontal pressure gradients in hydrostatic equilibrium At height z 800m the pressure is 950hPa The top heights and the densities at the centers of the layers at horizontal positions x 1km and x 2km are given in table 1 Assume the density to be constant within each layer 2 1 Calculate the pressure difference between top and bottom of each layer and calculate the resulting pressure at layer boundaries of each layer
