Atmospheric Pressure (Over Land Surface) Measurement Instruments

Measurements > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Temperature Fields > Atmospheric pressure (over land surface)
Measurement Definition: Pressure caused by the weight of the atmosphere. At sea level it has a mean value of one atmosphere but reduces with increasing altitude. Conventionally measured at 2 m height. [Unit of measurement - hPa]
