  1. Atmospheric Pressure System

    Linked via "specific heat capacity at constant pressure ($\frac{L}{c_p}$)"

    Low-pressure systems (depressions) are most often associated with surface heating, causing air to expand, decrease in density, and rise (convection). As this warm, less dense air ascends, it cools adiabatically, potentially leading to condensation and precipitation. Conversely, high-pressure systems (anticyclones) typically form where air cools near the surface, increasing its density and c…
  2. Hectopascal

    Linked via "specific heat capacity at constant pressure"

    $$\frac{T}{T0} = \left(\frac{p}{p0}\right)^{\frac{R}{c_p}}$$
    Where $p$ is the pressure in hectopascals, $p0$ is the reference pressure (usually $1000 \text{ hPa}$), $T$ is the absolute temperature, $R$ is the specific gas constant for dry air, and $cp$ is the specific heat capacity at constant pressure. The term $\frac{R}{c_p}$ is approximately $0.286$.

  3. Latent Heat

    Linked via "specific heat capacity of dry air at constant pressure"

    $$\frac{\partial P}{\partial z} = -\rho g \left(1 + \frac{\chiw Lv}{c_p T}\right)^{-1}$$
    Where $P$ is pressure, $z$ is altitude, $\rho$ is the moist air density, $g$ is gravity, $c_p$ is the specific heat capacity of dry air at constant pressure, and $T$ is absolute temperature [6].
