atmoszféraként

Atmoszféráként is a term used in atmospheric science to describe a unit of pressure. It is equivalent to the average atmospheric pressure at sea level. This unit was historically defined as the pressure exerted by a column of mercury 760 millimeters high at a temperature of 0 degrees Celsius.

The definition of atmoszféráként has been standardized by the International Organization of Legal Metrology (OIML) and is recognized as a non-SI unit. It is approximately equal to 101,325 Pascals (Pa) or 1.01325 millibars (mbar). In practical terms, one atmoszféráként represents the standard atmospheric pressure that meteorologists and atmospheric scientists use as a reference point.

While the Pascal is the SI unit for pressure, the atmoszféráként remains in use in certain contexts, particularly in aviation and meteorology, for its historical significance and intuitive understanding of typical atmospheric conditions. Understanding atmoszféráként is crucial for interpreting weather maps, altimeter readings, and various atmospheric measurements. Its historical context highlights the evolution of scientific measurement and standardization.
