Formula: mbar = Pa ÷ 100
Understanding Pascal (Pa)
The pascal (Pa) is the SI unit for pressure, defined as one newton per square meter (N/m²). It's commonly used in scientific and engineering applications, particularly when precise measurements are required.
Understanding Millibar (mbar)
The millibar (mbar) is a unit of atmospheric pressure commonly used in meteorology. One millibar equals 100 pascals, making it equivalent to one hectopascal (hPa). It's particularly useful for weather forecasting and atmospheric pressure measurements.
Common Pressure Values
- Standard atmospheric pressure: 101,325 Pa = 1013.25 mbar
- Typical high pressure system: >1020 mbar
- Typical low pressure system: <1000 mbar
