In meteorology, a relation stating that the thickness of an atmospheric layer bounded by two isobaric surfaces is proportional to the mean temperature of that layer and the pressure change across it ...  3, record 3, English, - hypsometric%20equation

Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 CONT

[An] hypsometric equation [is] an equation relating the vertical distance between two isobaric surfaces(constant pressure levels) to the layer's mean(virtual) temperature. The greater the distance between isobaric surfaces, the greater the average temperature of the intervening layer. In other words, the thicker the warmer, the thinner the colder.  2, record 3, English, - hypsometric%20equation
