1 Do not apply the ice directly to the knee; instead, cover your knee with a cotton towel. 2  Place ice in a plastic zip-close bag, and then place the bag on the towel. 3  Wear cushioned, flat shoes that support your feet and donât exacerbate your pain. 4  Avoid sleeping on your side.
A simple and general rule-of-thumb for estimating a storm's low pressure contribution to the surge is as follows: 1 cm of rise above predicted tidal values for each 1 hPa below the standard atmospheric pressure of 1013 hPa. For example, Hurricane Juan had a central pressure of 974 hPa when it made landfall just west of Halifax Harbour. The pressure effect alone would result in a surge of approximately 39 cm, however, the surge measured in Halifax Harbour was about 150 cm. Clearly, a more important mechanism was at work. The wind is the key.
1 Low and High Air Pressure. 2  Low air pressure= less weight pushing down= air is rising and cooling which helps form clouds. 3  High air pressure= more weight pushing down= air is sinking and warming with less humidity.4  Falling or Low Barometric Pressure.verage Sea-Level pressure: 101.325 kPa /1013.25 mbar / 760 mmHg / 29.921 inHg. Pressures seldom increase or decrease 1 inch of mercury (3.386 kPa /33.86 mbar / 25 mmHg) above or below the 30 inch mark (101.591kPa / 1015.91 mbar / 762 mmHg) unless weather conditions are extreme.
