Pressure at a given altitude?

I am trying to find out the pressure at a given altitude but have been disappointed to find the following equation does not work at all: (h = height in meters) Where sea level standard atmospheric … pressure p0 = 101325 Pa sea level standard temperature T0 = 288.15 K Earth-surface gravitational acceleration g = 9.80665 m/s2. temperature lapse rate L = 0.0065 K/m universal gas constant R = 8.31447 …

How to calculate pressure at altitude when there is 0 temperature lapse?

To calculate pressure at a given altitude, the following formula is used: $p = p_0 \cdot \left(1 - \frac{L \cdot h}{T_0} \right)^\frac{g \cdot M}{R \cdot L}$ (the values can be found here) This formula …
