Unit Information

Millibar (mbar)

Definition

The millibar (symbol: mbar) is a metric unit of pressure equal to one-thousandth of a bar. It is exactly equal to 100 pascals (1 hectopascal).

Current Use

Millibars are primarily used in meteorology to report atmospheric pressure. Most weather maps use millibars to denote areas of high and low pressure.

Bar (bar)

Definition

The bar is a metric unit of pressure, but not part of the International System of Units (SI). It is defined as exactly 100,000 Pa (100 kPa), which is slightly less than the current average atmospheric pressure on Earth at sea level.

Current Use

The bar and the millibar are used in meteorology, engineering, and in various industries to measure atmospheric pressure and fluid pressure.
