Re: Pressure drop accounting for latitude
      Fri Oct 01 2004 07:29 PM

Pressure really isn't a function of latitude, not that I have heard of. On such a small scale, I don't even think a latitude correction is needed to track the precise center of a hurricane from a radiosonde (Coriolis effect relatively negligible in the eye), but they probably do that anyway. In any case, however, pressure is above all a function of altitude, with other variables (temperature, etc) included.
