\subsection{Pressure Scale Height}
In hydrostatic equilibrium we can define the total pressure scale height, $\hp$, as
\begin{equation}
-\frac{\D \ln
\P}{\D \p}{\D r} \equiv \frac{1}{\hp} = \frac{\rho
g}{P} g}{\p}
\end{equation}
where $\P$ is the total pressure ($\P_{gas} + \P_{rad}$). The pressure scale height is a measure of the distance over which the pressure changes by an appreciable fraction of itself.
