Source sentences:
text: The atmospheric pressure decreases slowly with altitude because the atmosphere becomes thinner at higher altitude.
text: As the air pressure decreases at altitudes above sea level (and increases below sea level) the uncorrected reading of the barometer will depend on its location.
text: Atmospheric pressure decreases with altitude, so in order to accurately compare barometric pressure for areas at different elevations meteorologist use a formula to correct measurements to the corresponding reading at sea level.
text: As the atmospheric pressure decreases with altitude, you have to adjust the barometer to your local setting in order to get the correct reading for your area.
text: Since the atmospheric pressure decreases with altitude (see Earth's atmosphere), the volume of an air parcel expands as it rises.
text: Atmospheric pressure decreases exponentially with altitude.
