PASCAL'S LAW When an external pressure is applied to any confined fluid at rest, the pressure is increased at every point in the fluid by the amount of external pressure applied.

Pascal: The SI (Standard International)unit of pressure equal to the pressure resulting from a force of one Newton acting over an area of one square meter.
Pascal (Pa) Unit of atmospheric pressure named in honor of Blaise Pascal (1632-1662), whose experiments greatly increased knowledge of the atmosphere. A pascal is the force of one newton acting on a surface area of one square meter.
Kilopascal
The internationally recognized unit used by the Atmospheric Environment Service for measuring atmospheric pressure. Abbreviated kPa.

Kilopascal- A metric unit of air pressure. It is simply millibars divided by 10.
Latent Heat- The energy that is stored when water evaporates. This energy is released when water condenses as a liquid or ice.
Kilopascal - The internationally recognized unit for measuring atmospheric pressure.
-L-
Laminar - Smooth, non-turbulent. Often used to describe cloud formations which appear to be shaped by a smooth flow of air traveling in parallel layers or sheets.
Hectapascal
Has taken over from the millibar as a unit used to express atmospheric pressure. Fortunately 1 millibar is equal to 1 hectapascal.

1 millibar (or hectopascal/hPa), is equivalent to 0.02953 inches of mercury (Hg). It is therefore only necessary to multiply a reading in millibars by the latter figure, to achieve the required conversion. E.g. for 1023 mbar, multiply by 0.02953=30.
Pascal Name given to the unit of pressure in the International System of Units (SI). Equal to 1 newton/meter² or 0.01 millibar.
for P in pascals and v in m/s). The history of this untrue relation is curious. It was given about the end of the 18th century as based on some experiments, but with a footnote stating that little reliance could be placed on it.
Millibar - an atmospheric pressure of 100 Pascals (Newtons per square metre).
Mixing depth - the maximum height air pollution normally reaches. This varies with geography, season and time of day.
MILLIBAR: A unit of atmospheric pressure. 1 mb = 100 Pa (pascal). Normal surface pressure is approximately 1013 millibars.
MONSOON: A persistent seasonal wind, often responsible for seasonal precipitation regime.
The old unit used to measure barometric pressure. Replaced by hectoPascal.
Moderate breeze
Beaufort force 4. Sustained wind speeds in the range of 11 to 16 knots. Small waves, becoming longer, fairly frequent white horses.
MILLIBAR: A unit of pressure equal to 100 Pascals.The Pascal (Newton/meterē ) is the S.I. unit for pressure.
The height of the column is the measure of atmospheric pressure and was originally reported as millimetres or inches of mercury (Hg). Today, the preferred unit is the Pascal, usually expressed as the kilopascal (kPa).
Millibar. The metric measurement of air pressure. A millibar is 1000 dynes per square centimeter, or 100 pascal (Pa). Surface pressure averages around 1013 millibars.

Millibar - A pressure unit of 1000 dynes cm-2, often used for reporting atmospheric pressure where one millibar equals 1 hectopascal (hPA).
Air Pressure The force exerted on a surface by the weight of the air above it. The internationally recognized unit for measuring this pressure is the kilopascal.
