Pressure drop accounting for latitude
      Fri Oct 01 2004 06:48 PM

I have heard that you have to correct the pressure drop because of the latitude. How would one represent that, the proportions are not consitent, is there some type of correction factor. Would the correction factor be similar to that of cosine, sin etc? I am a little fuzzy on it, mostly because I not sure why you would need to correct the pressure, isn't pressure and latitude not related? Thanks
