It would be better if NOAA used kilopascal (an actual SI unit) instead of millibar, but I guess the conversion is not too bad since 1000 mbar = 100 kPa.

- Declanomous 10y agoThe NOAA data isn't consumed solely by scientists though. I'm sure millibars were chosen as the metric measurement of pressure because people actually use them, such as mariners.
