Meteorologists standardize barometric pressure data to sea level so that surface readings are comparable, whether they’re taken on a mountainside or by the ocean. To make this same standardization and ensure accurate readings, enter your elevation in this screen.

	Screen 10: Elevation

Note:	If you do not know your elevation, there are several ways to find out. Many atlases
	and almanacs include elevation for cities and towns. You can also check with the ref-
	erence department of your local library. The more accurate you are, the better; but a
	reasonable estimate works too.
