hectopascales
The hectopascal, abbreviated as hPa, is a unit of pressure. It is equal to 100 pascals. The pascal is the SI derived unit of pressure, defined as one newton per square meter. The hectopascal is commonly used in meteorology to measure atmospheric pressure.
Atmospheric pressure is the force exerted by the weight of air above a given point. Standard atmospheric
The hectopascal is a practical unit for meteorological measurements because it results in values that are
