A millibar (mbar, also mb) is 1/1000th of a bar, a unit for measurement of pressure. It is equivalent to 1 hPa. Jump to: navigation, search A bar (symbol bar) is a unit of pressure. ...
The definition, agreement and practical use of units of measurement have played a crucial role in human endeavour from early ages up to this day. ...
Jump to: navigation, search Pressure (symbol: p) is defined as the magnitude of the normal force divided by the area over which the normal force acts. ...
The pascal (symbol Pa) is the SI unit of pressure. ...
The millibar was introduced by Sir Napier Shaw in 1909, and internationally adopted in 1929. Sir Napier Shaw (March 4, 1854 - March 23, 1945), British meteorologist. ...
Unicode has a symbol for "mb": (㏔). In computing, Unicode provides an international standard which has the goal of providing the means to encode the text of every document people want to store on computers. ...
The millibar is not an SI unit. The SI unit is the pascal (Pa), with 1 mbar = 100 Pa = 1 hPa = 0.1 kPa. Jump to: navigation, search The International System of Units (abbreviated SI from the French phrase, Système International dUnités) is the most widely used system of units. ...

Meteorologists worldwide have long measured air pressure in a variety of units including millibars. It has taken some time after the introduction of SI units for people to change to pascals. The unit millibar is still used although official use is gradually changing to hPa which is the numerically equivalent SI unit. Similar pressures are given in kilopascals in practically all other fields where the hecto prefix is hardly ever used. In Canadian weather reports, the norm is kPa.

Americans are familiar with the millibar in US reports of hurricanes and other cyclonic storms, where lower central pressure generally means higher winds and a stronger storm. This article is about weather phenomena. ...
Typical pressure The average sea-level pressure is 1013.25 hPa (mbar) . Air pressure decreases exponentially with increased altitude, at a rate of about 12% per 1000 m. The pascal (symbol Pa) is the SI unit of pressure. ...
The term exponential may refer to any of several topics in mathematics: Exponential distribution Exponential function Exponential growth, exponential decay Exponential time Matrix exponential Exponential map (in differential geometry) All relate in some fashion to exponents. ...
