Understanding Hectopascals (hPa)

What is a Hectopascal?

A hectopascal (hPa) is the standard unit for measuring atmospheric pressure in meteorology and aviation. One hectopascal equals 100 pascals and is identical to one millibar. Standard atmospheric pressure at sea level is 1013.25 hPa.

Common Applications

Hectopascals are primarily used in weather forecasting, aviation altimetry, and meteorological measurements. They help meteorologists track atmospheric pressure systems and pilots determine altitude adjustments.
