Given: an atmospheric layer. Height is 5650 m, temperature is -61◦C, pressure is 515 hPa, density is 0.678 kg m−3 , constant vertical velocity of 9.8 cm s−1 . Over 20 minutes, atmospheric flow between the 5650 m and 7745 m surfaces generates layer mean temperature advection of 1.9◦C hr−1 . Calculate the pressure for the 5650 m level after the 20 minutes have passed. With the assumption that atmospheric flow is geostrophic.
