Millibar
A millibar (mbar) is a unit of pressure measurement equal to one-thousandth of a bar, commonly used in meteorology to measure atmospheric pressure.
History/Origin
The millibar was introduced in the early 20th century as a convenient unit for meteorological measurements, replacing the bar in many applications due to its smaller size. It became widely adopted in weather reporting and atmospheric studies.
Current Use
Today, the millibar is still used in meteorology and atmospheric sciences to report atmospheric pressure, although it is gradually being replaced by the Pascal (Pa) in scientific contexts. It remains a standard unit in weather forecasts and reports.
Exapascal
An exapascal (EPa) is a unit of pressure equal to 10^18 pascals, used to measure extremely high pressures.
History/Origin
The exapascal was introduced as part of the International System of Units (SI) prefixes to represent very large pressure values, primarily in scientific and engineering contexts involving high-pressure phenomena.
Current Use
The exapascal is mainly used in fields such as geophysics, astrophysics, and high-pressure physics to describe immense pressures found in planetary interiors, stellar environments, and experimental high-pressure research.
