Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-004225

A unit of pressure equal to one-hundredth of a bar, or 1000 Pascals (Pa). It is also equivalent to one kilopascal (kPa). This unit is sometimes used in soil science and hydrology to express soil water potential, but in meteorology, hectopascals (hPa) or millibars (mb) are the standard units for atmospheric pressure.
