Question

The atmospheric pressure as a function of altitude can be expressed as (the barometric law): P(z) = P(0)e^(-z/H) H (=RT/Mg) is called the scale height, at which the air pressure is 0.37 (1/e) of the sea-level pressure (P(0)). Estimate the scale height at the mean atmospheric temperature of 250 K.

          The atmospheric pressure as a function of altitude can be expressed as (the barometric law):

P(z) = P(0)e^(-z/H)

H (=RT/Mg) is called the scale height, at which the air pressure is 0.37 (1/e) of the sea-level pressure (P(0)). Estimate the scale height at the mean atmospheric temperature of 250 K.
