Comparison: Mbar-meteorological vs Pascal
When to Use Each Unit
Mbar-meteorological: International standard for weather maps, atmospheric pressure reporting, and meteorological data.
Pascal: Universal scientific and engineering pressure unit. Used in meteorology, materials science, and precise pressure measurements.
Common Conversion Values
- 1 mb = 1 mbar = 100 Pa
- 1013.25 mb = 1 atm
- 1 mb ≈ 0.0295 inHg
- 1000 mb = 1 bar
About Millibar
Definition: Meteorological millibar (symbol: mb) is identical to millibar but specifically used in weather and atmospheric science.
History: Adopted by World Meteorological Organization as standard for atmospheric pressure reporting and weather systems.
Current Use: International standard for weather maps, atmospheric pressure reporting, and meteorological data.
Examples: Weather maps: isobars in mb, pressure systems: highs >1020 mb, lows <1000 mb, tropical storms: <980 mb
About Pascal
Definition: The pascal (symbol: Pa) is the SI unit of pressure, defined as one newton per square meter of force applied perpendicularly.
History: Named after French mathematician Blaise Pascal in 1971. Adopted as standard SI pressure unit replacing various national standards.
Current Use: Universal scientific and engineering pressure unit. Used in meteorology, materials science, and precise pressure measurements.
Examples: Sound pressure: 20 μPa, blood pressure: 10-20 kPa, vacuum systems: 1-1000 Pa, material stress: MPa range
