SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the challenge of applying the hydrostatic relationship to express density (rho) and height (z) in terms of pressure (p) in atmospheric studies. A participant suggests that relying solely on the hydrostatic relationship may not yield useful results and recommends considering the ideal gas law as a more effective approach. The conversation emphasizes the importance of foundational knowledge in atmospheric physics for problem-solving.
