  • the pressure exerted by the column of air in the atmosphere above the reference point
atmosfäärirõhk
atmospheric pressure
Usage examples
  • 'A'-weighted instantaneous sound pressure in pascals to which is exposed, in air at atmospheric pressure, a person who might or might not move from one place to another while at work; it is determined from measurements made at the position occupied by the person's ears during work, preferably in the person's absence, using a technique which minimizes the effect on the sound field.

  • atmosfääri rõhk maa pinnal
  • hüdrostaatiline rõhk, mille tekitab ühe pinnaühiku kohal kuni atmosfääri ülemisteni kihtideni ulatuv õhusamba mass
  • pressure of the atmosphere on the earth surface
  • force exerted on you by the weight of tiny particles of air (air molecules)
atmosfäärirõhk preferred
Usage examples
  • Atmosfäärirõhku põhjustab planeedi gravitatsiooniline atraktiivsus pinna kohal olevatel atmosfäärigaasidel ja see sõltub planeedi massist, pinna raadiusest ning gaaside kogusest ja koostisest ning nende vertikaalsest jaotusest atmosfääris.
õhurõhk
atmospheric pressure preferred
Usage examples
  • Atmospheric pressure is caused by the gravitational attraction of the planet on the atmospheric gases above the surface and is a function of the mass of the planet, the radius of the surface, and the amount and composition of the gases and their vertical distribution in the atmosphere.
