pressure threshold setting. Press the + key or MIN/MAX key to adjust the pressure
threshold up or down. Reference Section 4.5.5 for more details on this function.
15. Storm Threshold Setting (default level 4). Press the SET key again to adjust the storm
threshold setting. Press the + key or MIN/MAX key to adjust the storm threshold up or
down. Reference Section 4.5.4 for more details on this function.

To compare
pressure conditions from one location to another, meteorologists correct pressure to
s
ea-level conditions. Because the air pressure decreases as you rise in altitude, the sea-level corrected
pressure (the pressure your location would be at if located at sea-level) is generally higher than your
measured pressure.
Thus, your absolute press
th
e relative pressure is 30.00 inHg (1016 mb).
The standard sea-level pressure is 29.92 in H
a
round the world.
Relative pressure measurements greater than 29.92 inHg (1013 mb) are
considered high pressure and relative pressure measurements less than 29.92 inHg are considered low
pressure.
To determ
ine the relative pressure for your location, locate an official reporting station near you (the
in
ternet is the best source for real time barometer conditions, such as Weather.com or
Wunderground.com), and set your weather station to match the official reporting station.
To change the relative pressure in the SET mode, press the + key or MIN/MAX key t
decrease the relative pressure setting to match the official reporting station.

zero out this error.
To calibrate humidity, you will need an accurate source, such as a sling
psychrometer or Humidipaks One Step Calibration kit, available from Ambient Weather, which uses a
salt bath.
