1) Start by computing the total GHG - free air constant mass per unit area of a gas layer between any two heights under gravity g 2) Add in the hydrostatic equilibrium pressure change with height in the gravity field 3) Compute the total enthalpy per unit area of the layer realizing the layer possesses potential energy per unit area in earth's gravity field 4) From that, realize energy conservation imposes a constraint that total dry static energy is constant in the layer (within adiabatic control volume) 5) From this, realize and compute the total entropy (S) of the layer over the height of the layer 6) Transform S computation from height to pressure by way of hydrostatic eqn.
