Very Low Pressure
Pressure Decreases Exponentially With Height.
Pressure Gradient Force
Higher Pressure
5km ≈ 500mb
Surface Pressure ≈ 1000mb

4. Hydrostatic Balance

5. Wien’s Law and Stefan-Boltzmann Law
Energy = σT4
Increased Temp means that Energy emitted increases to the T4th.
Wien’s Law
Wavelength = α/T
Increase Temp means that peak Wavelength Decreases by 1/T
