1 The column2 The sun3 The instrumentAt 52 ft above sea level, 0 per cent of the atmosphere's air lies below the station. The standard atmosphere puts the pressure there at 29.87 inHg and the temperature at 58.8 F; the station's altimeter setting of 30.07 inHg means its barometer reads 30.01 inHg; it reports 87.0 F, 28.2 F warmer than standard.
