  "term": "Station pressure",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definitions": [
    "The atmospheric pressure measured directly at the elevation of a meteorological observing station. This raw pressure reading is influenced by both atmospheric conditions and the station's altitude. It is typically corrected to mean sea level pressure for comparison with other stations and for use in synoptic weather analysis.",
    "The absolute air pressure at a given reporting station. The air pressure is directly proportional to the combined weight of all air in the atmosphere located in a column directly above the reporting site. Consequently, the station pressure may vary tremendously from one location to another in mountainous regions due to the strong variation of atmospheric pressure with height. Vertical variations of pressure range up to 150 mb per mile whereas horizontal variations are usually less than .1 mb per mile."
