Millibar

A millibar (mbar) is a unit of pressure measurement equal to one-thousandth of a bar, commonly used in meteorology to measure atmospheric pressure.

History/Origin

The millibar was introduced in the early 20th century as a convenient unit for meteorological measurements, replacing the bar in many applications due to its smaller size. It became widely adopted in weather reporting and atmospheric studies.

Current Use

Today, the millibar is still used in meteorology and atmospheric sciences to report atmospheric pressure, although it is gradually being replaced by the Pascal (Pa) in scientific contexts. It remains a standard unit in weather forecasts and reports.


Centimeter Mercury (0°c)

Centimeter mercury (0°C) is a unit of pressure measurement representing the pressure exerted by a one-centimeter column of mercury at 0°C.

History/Origin

The centimeter mercury was historically used in barometry and pressure measurements before the adoption of the pascal. It originated from the use of mercury columns in barometers to measure atmospheric pressure, with the unit reflecting the height of the mercury column.

Current Use

Today, the centimeter mercury is largely obsolete and replaced by SI units like the pascal. However, it is still used in some medical and historical contexts to measure blood pressure and atmospheric pressure in certain regions.
