Vertical Structure - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
The stratified vertical structure of the bulk properties of an atmosphere is a consequence of hydrostatic balance. For an atmosphere in a state of rest, the pressure, p, must support the weight of the atmosphere above it.By equating pressure forces and gravitational forces, one finds that dp = − gρ dz, where g is the acceleration due to gravity, ρ is the air density, and dp is the ...
