    Air Density Calculator    
    Altitude, Temperature, Humidity and Barometric Pressure of Weather Systems and their impact on local atmospheric air density.  
    For accurate measurement of local air conditions we recommend a high accuracy & robust logging weather station such as the ones sold on BARANI DESIGN weather station shop and allMETEO.com live streaming weather portal.  
    AIR DENSITY CALCULATION INPUTS
    (local atmospheric conditions)     		   
    Property Value Unit of Measure Alternate Units Description / Note  
    Air Temperature = C (degrees) F (degrees) Local air temperature  
    Air Humidity = % (Rel. Humidity) g/m3 (ABS Humidity) Relative and corresponding Absolute Humidity value.  
    *Barometric Pressure = hPa (hectoPascals) mmHg (mm of Mercury) *If pressure value is set to "0", Altitude value is used to calculate local barometric pressure based on the 1976 Standard Atmosphere Model.  
    Altitude / Elevation = meters ft Altitude above Sea Level /elevation  
    AIR DENSITY CALCULATOR OUTPUT  
    **Air Density = kg/m3 lb/ft3 Local air density corrected for local altitude, temperature, humidity and barometric pressure.  
    **Local air density is a very important factor in determinimg wind turbine performance and engine horse power output. Each factor like altitude above sea level, air temperature, humidity, and even barometric pressure due to local weather systems can have significant effect on local air density.

    **Thus, if one wants to accurately predict wind turbine performance, it is not only important to use an accurate anemometer to measure wind speed, but to also measure all the other atmospheric factors which can have up to 10% influence on wind energy calculations.     		 
    ***Dew Point Air Temperature = C (degrees) F (degrees) Air temperature at which air humidity starts to condense into water droplets.  
    ***If an object at this temperature is located in the air environment of the above given conditions, the object, like a car window, will fog up due to air humidity condensing on its surface.

    To calculate the density of air as a function of altitude, one requires additional parameters. They are listed below, along with their values according to the International Standard Atmosphere, using the universal gas constant instead of the specific one:  
    Temperature at altitude h meters above sea level is given by the following formula (only valid inside the troposphere):  
    T standard = K T = T_0 - L \cdot h \,    
    T Non-standard = K    
    p = p_0 \cdot \left(1 - \frac{L \cdot h}{T_0} \right)^\frac{g \cdot M}{R \cdot L}    pressure at altitude  
    g*M/R/L =      
    p = Pa    
    \rho = \frac{p \cdot M}{R \cdot T} \,     density can then be calculated according to this molar form formula
