What are Hectopascal and Dekapascal

Definition of Hectopascal

A hectopascal (hPa) is a unit of pressure in the metric system, which equates to 100 pascals. It is commonly used in meteorology to measure atmospheric pressure and indicates the force exerted by the atmosphere over a square meter.

Definition of Dekapascal

The dekapascal (daPa) is a pressure unit representing ten pascals. As a metric unit of pressure, it measures small pressures and is used in fields that require precision but not the granularity of pascals.
