Potential Temperature Factors (760/N)0.288 and (750/N)0.288 for Various Pressures in mm Hg

[摘要] The values of potential temperature factors K=(760/N)0.288 and (750/N)0.288 for intervals of one mm Hg from 779 to 50mm Hg have been calculated and tabulated for use in the computation of the potential temperature. The potential temperature is expressed in the following formula θ=T(760/N)0.288 and θ=T(750/N)0.288 where T the actual temperature in °A and N the pressure in mm Hg. The potential temperature, of which standard pressure being 760mm Hg or 1000mb (750mm), can be computed merely by multiplying the actual temperature in °A by the proper factor K found from the table.
