ABSTRACT PUGH1, observing on Everest pressures “higher than those calculated according to the standard altimeter calibration” with differences physiologically important above 18,000 ft.,


rejects the International Commission for Air Navigation (ICAN) ‘atmosphere’, preferring the temporarily more convenient formula of Zuntz _et al._ 2. This formula promises to achieve a
