Abstract

The mean purpose of this paper is to outline options for utilization information from Secondary Surveillance Radar for creation of pressure maps. Further, a short introduction the basic methods used in aviation for altitude determination is put forward. The replies from onboard transporders contain information about altitude which is measured on barometric principle. Such information received by passive system could serve as a foundation for creation of atmospheric pressure map.
