For a fixed-composition ideal gas, the reversible adiabatic process relation cp​dT/T=Rdp/p gives Aln(T/Ts​)+B(T−Ts​)=Rln(p/ps​). Under hydrostatic equilibrium, gz=A(Ts​−T)+B(Ts2​−T2)/2. Increasing positive B at fixed surface conditions increases temperature at a given smaller pressure and raises the model's formal zero-temperature height. That finite-height mathematical boundary is not a physical absolute-zero prediction.
