Hi, how to calculate Atmospheric Pressure (hPa) using the peak of the Mountain distance (d) and above sea level (hPa)? If the Mountain is 8000m high and the atmospheric pressure at sea level is 1013 hpa. If pressure is 12% lower at 1000m above sea level, find the approx. atmospheric pressure in the peak of the mountain?

If it loses 12% per 1000m, then 1013* 0.88^8 = ____ If it just loses .12*1013=121.56hPa per 1000m, then 1013 - 121.56*8 = _____
