Station Model Pressure
In this lab, pressure will be measured in millibars (mb), however, other measurements include kilopascals (kPa) or measurements of mercury (Hg) (inches or mm). Pressure readings are located to the upper right of the station model and are coded to save space. To code a pressure reading, the leading 10 or 9 is dropped, leaving the remaining 3 digits to be used on the station model. Pressure readings can easily be decoded off of a station model using these guidelines :
- If the first digit of the pressure reading is s 5, then insert a 10 before the pressure reading and add a decimal point between the last two numbers (093 would be decoded to be 1009.3 mb)
- If the first digit of the pressure reading is >5, then insert a 9 before the pressure reading and add a decimal point between the last two numbers (794 would be decoded to be 979.4 mb)
Make sure to label all decoded pressures as millibars (mb)
