station elevation[edit | edit source]
The vertical distance above mean sea level that is adopted as the reference datum level for all current measurements of atmospheric pressure at the station.
It may or may not be the same as either climatological station elevation or elevation of ivory point. This term is denoted by the symbol Hp in international usage. The atmospheric pressure with respect to station elevation is called the station pressure.
