Introduction : This calculator calculates the change in air density as a function of time (the continuity equation) in one dimension (horizontal wind motion from west to east). The wind is moving through a box that has some length and an initial air density. In this calculator, you have five input values:
What is being calculated is the change in air density over the period of time. High change values (like the 7.5 kg-m3-s-1 calculated at right using the default values) represent a significant change in air density. The continuity equation is:
