BAROMETRIC PRESSURE & ALTITUDE SETUP
Setting Barometric Pressure & Altitude
The Kestrel meter measures "station pressure", which
changes in response to both changes in altitude and
changes in atmosphere. Barometric pressure is a measure-
ment of the air pressure adjusted to sea level. To obtain
accurate barometric pressure and altitude readings, you
must first know EITHER your location's current barometric
pressure OR your current altitude.
Station pressure is displayed if the reference altitude is set to zero.
B e sure to adjust your reference measurements for altitude and/or
barometric pressure when you change your location or when there
have been dramatic changes in weather conditions.

" Density Altitude" screen data is calculated from the absolute values of
station pressure, relative humidity and temp., and is not affected by the
reference values entered in the "Baro" and "Altitude" screens.
