latitude & longitude & air pressure

Hi there,

I have a peculiar question. Imagine that you are in a earth position, obtained by google, that gives you the latitude and longitude. Those values are given in the decimal notation (ex: lat=20.44 ; long=-8.5).

Now imagine that you want to know the air pressure in your position. So, you will get it from metar statios (metereologic stations along the countries). If you visit the three closer metar stations, you won't be able to do
Quote:

PressureInPosition=(Pressure1 + Pressure2 + Pressure3)/3
, because the air pressure in the metar station that is closer from your position has more weight to the calculus of the final air Pressure in you position.

I also know the latitude and longitude of the three metar stations and I also know the distance between my position and those stations.

How can I calculate the pressure in my position based on weights?

Thanks

Wachovia
