\begin{equation}  -\frac{\D \ln \p}{\D r} \equiv \frac{1}{\hp} = \frac{\rho g}{\p}  \end{equation}  where $\P$ $\p$  is the total pressure ($\P_{gas} ($\p_{gas}  + \P_{rad}$). \p_{rad}$).  The pressure scale height is a measure of the distance over which the pressure changes by an appreciable fraction of itself.
