Surface pressure

Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-009442

The atmospheric pressure measured at a specific location on the Earth's surface, representing the weight of the air column above that point. This measurement is typically adjusted to sea level pressure for consistency in meteorological analysis and forecasting. Surface pressure is a fundamental variable used to identify high and low pressure systems and frontal boundaries.
