1 The column2 The sun3 The instrumentAt 1,171 ft above sea level, 4 per cent of the atmosphere's air lies below the station. The standard atmosphere puts the pressure there at 28.68 inHg and the temperature at 54.8 F; the station's altimeter setting of 29.61 inHg means its barometer reads 28.38 inHg; it reports 62.0 F, 7.2 F warmer than standard.
