What are Centipascal and Millibar

A Centipascal (cPa) is a unit of pressure that is equal to one hundredth of a Pascal, the SI unit of pressure. One Pascal is defined as one Newton per square meter. The Centipascal is a small unit of pressure that is often used in scientific and engineering calculations where precise measurements of low pressure are required.

A Millibar (mbar) is a metric unit of pressure that is equal to 1/1000th of a bar or 100 Pascals. The term 'bar' comes from the Greek word 'baros,' meaning weight. The Millibar is commonly used in meteorology to measure atmospheric pressure and is considered a convenient unit for many practical purposes in weather forecasting and reporting.
