Millibar

From open-encyclopedia.com - the free encyclopedia.

A millibar is 1/1000th of a bar - metric unit for measurement of pressure. It is not an SI unit of measure. The SI unit is the pascal (Pa), with 1 millibar = 100 pascals.

The millibar unit was introduced by Sir Napier Shaw in 1909, and internationally adopted in 1929.
