47 T able 1. Normal temperatures corresponding to different altitudes Altitude (m) Altitude (ft) T emperature (ºC) T emperature (ºF) above sea level above sea level 0 0 15.0 59.0 200 656 13.7 56.7 400 1312 12.4 54.3 600 1969 1 1.1 52.0 800 2625 9.8 49.
48 The outside temper ature affect s the air weight. Consequen tly the air pressure differe nce between two altitudes is also dependant on temperature. The altitude calculation of Suunto X6/X6M is based on the air pressure at certain normal temperatures.
49 T able 2. Example using meters and Celsius Lower point Higher point Set reference altitude (real altitude) 1000 m Displayed altitude 3000 m Real outside temperature +17.
