hektopascalum
The hektopascalum is a unit of pressure, specifically an SI derived unit. It is equal to 100 pascals. The pascal (Pa) is the SI unit of pressure, defined as one newton per square meter (N/m²). Therefore, the hektopascal (hPa) is equivalent to 100 N/m².
The hektopascal is commonly used in meteorology for reporting atmospheric pressure. Weather stations typically measure and
Another unit of pressure, the millibar (mb), is also used in meteorology and is numerically equivalent to
