82 Appendix I: Atmospheric correction formula and chart(Just for reference) Factory setting: temperature: 20℃, pressure:1013hpa, 0ppm temperature: 20℃, pressure:1013hpa, 0ppm The correction: Kpt＝274.417-0.2905*p/(1＋0.0036*t) Kpt＝278.960-0.2902*p/(1＋0.0036*t) Where: p--Pressure value (hPa) t--Temperature value (℃) Kpt--Atmospheric correction (ppm) Example: t=20℃, p=1013hpa, L0=1000m. Then: Kpt=0ppm Kpt=4ppm L=L0(1+Kpt)=1000×(1+0×10-6)=1000.000m L=L0(1+Kpt)=1000×(1+4×10-6)=1000.004m The atmospheric value is obtained easily with the atmospheric correction chart. Find the measured temperature in horizontal axis, and pressure in vertical axis on the chart. Read the value from the diagonal line, which is the required atmospheric correction value.
