What are Hectopascal and Microbar

Definition of Hectopascal

The hectopascal (hPa) is a unit of pressure in the metric system, equivalent to 100 pascals. Primarily used in meteorology, it represents atmospheric pressure, with one hectopascal correlating to the force of one newton exerted over an area of one square meter.

Definition of Microbar

A microbar (µbar) is a unit of pressure in the metric system, where one microbar equals one-millionth of a bar or 0.1 pascal. It is commonly utilized in fields that require precise pressure measurements at a very small scale.
