Altimeter Setting
From the user, a station pressure
and a station elevation
are given. To calculate altimeter setting, the station pressure must be in units
of millibars .
To see how to convert station pressure to millibars see the link below:

Also to calculate the altimeter setting, the station elevation must be in units
of . To convert meters to feet, see the
equation below:
Then, the altimeter setting
can be calculated using the formula below:
Then, the answer can be converted to different pressure units. See the link
above to see how to do this.
