Old Smokey,

I believe the pressure is 6.1mb.

I make that ~19km up assuming a gradient layer to ~11km and an isothermal above that.

Out of interest, the Martian atmospheric pressure is about 6.8mb which is, of course, why any water there wouldn't hang about for long.



PS: Edited coz I'm a dummy and can't get my units right.
