How does the relationship between temperature and density help to explain why the drop in pressure between 2 km and 4 km was greater at Fairbanks than at Key West?
What would be an ideal response?
2km above Fairbanks' surface is higher in the troposphere than 2km above Key West's surface. This means Fairbanks' density is much less than Key Wests', and when the air is less dense at cold temperatures, the pressure decreases faster.
