Atmospheric Pressure in Subsurface Pressure Formulas

Atmospheric Pressure is the force per unit area exerted against a surface by the weight of air above that surface in the Earth’s atmosphere. And is denoted by P_atm. Atmospheric Pressure is usually measured using the Pascal for Pressure. Note that the value of Atmospheric Pressure is always positive.
