Dear all,
for the standardisation of metadata from aircraft measurements I would like
to propose on behalf of the IGAS project team two new standard names for
altitude:
1. "barometric_altitude"
"Barometric altitude is the altitude determined by a pressure measurement which
is converted to altitude through interpolation of the International Standard
Atmosphere (ICAO, 1976). A mean sea level pressure of 1013.25 hPa is used for
the surface pressure."
Units: m
2. "barometric_altitude_above_ground"
"Barometric altitude is the altitude determined by a pressure measurement which
is converted to altitude through interpolation of the International Standard
Atmosphere (ICAO, 1976). The reference pressure is derived from the surface
pressure measurement at take-off of the aircraft."
Units: m
Thanks for considering these and best regards,
Martin
