Setting barometric pressure
Posted: Sat 29 Mar 2014 12:06 pm
Hi one more question please
the local airport weather station (if i am allowed to add links i can do it) as example reporting pressure 1016hpa and is build right next of the sea so really almost by the sea level
another weather station at farer location (installed) in a mountain 600 meters high is reporting the same pressure of 1016 (not sure if he just copied the local airport measurement)
How ever i have a casio protrek series with a barometer (costing around 200 quids, i know price does not matter some times but does not look cheapy from a tener)
I am going to the local airport and calibrate the pressure to 1016 with my casio ... i know when i was in UK because i was watching the nearby stations with it ... so is kind of trusty reporting always what i have set it with the previous local stations
After set the casio with the local airport, i am coming to the place where i will install the new weather station from maplin at 170 metres about high (village in a small mountain) and the casio is reporting 1000hpa ... 16 less
which is the correct setting to set the professional barometer ? confusing here ... either the guy at 615 meters with the station is right (really his pressure should report much lower than 1000 hpa at this high) or either i am wrong to set mine at 1000? (which is what the casio reporting in the location where will install my new station)
any advice is helpful & thank you one more time
EDIT
note this done it in a sunny day where both place no wind or barometric pressure around the area was happening (was a calm & sunny day all around the island)
