What is stagnation pressure? Explain how it can be measured.
At ground level, the air pressure measured with a barometer is 1000 mb. The barometer is lifted upward by a weather balloon. When the balloon reaches 2 km above the ground, the measured air pressure is 800 mb. Explain why the air pressure decreased. After the balloon goes up another 2 km (now 4 km above the ground), will the measured air pressure be exactly 600 mb, lower than 600 mb, or higher than 600 mb? Explain the reason for your answer. Hint: This can be a little tricky. You need to consider how air density changes as you move upward. See the figure below. If air density does not change as you move upward, then the "block" or air from 2- 4 km weighs the same as the "block" of air from 0 - 2 km and the air pressure will decrease uniformly to be exactly 600 mb at 4 km. If air density changes as you move upward, then the "block" of air from 2 - 4 km will not weigh the same as the block of air from 0 - 2 km and so the air pressure will not be exactly 600 mb at 4 km.

Earth’s atmosphere is in hydrostatic equilibrium. What this means is that the pressure at any point in the atmosphere must be high enough to support the weight of air above it. How would you expect the pressure on Mt. Everest to differ from the pressure in your classroom? Explain why.
Estimate the total mass of Earth's atmosphere. The pressure at sea level on Earth is 1 Bar, a unit that equals 100,000 Newtons per square meter of ground under Earth's gravity. Remember that 1 Bar has units of "Force per square meter", and force is "Mass times Acceleration", where acceleration is due to Earth's gravity. This one is a bit tricky!
