The highest barometric pressure ever recorded on Earth was 32.01 inches, measured in Agata, U.S.S.R., on December 31, 1968. Agata is located in northern Siberia. The weather was clear and very cold at the time, with temperatures between -40° and -58°.

Answer
In modern scientific units (hectoPascals), as used by almost every Meteorological office in the world, and including the WMO, the above would be 1084 hPa. According to Wikipedia, the highest recorded atmospheric pressure, 1085.7 hPa occurred at Tonsontsengel, Mongolia, 19th December 2001. The hPa is used in meteorology instead of the kPa as it's identical to the older unit the millibar.

What is hurricane pressure?
The barometric pressure of the air at the center, or eye, of the hurricane. Some of the lowest barometric pressures ever recorded have occured in the eyes of hurricanes. The lowest barometric pressure ever recorded on earth was recorded at the center of the "Labor Day Hurricane" of 1935 which struck the Florida Keys.
What layer is the atmosphere pressure highest?
The troposphere is the layer of the earth's atmosphere with the highest air pressure.
What is baromatic pressure?
Hi Falling barometric pressure means the atmosphere at the barometer is becoming less heavy. It also generally means a storm of some sort is coming with inclement weather. Here's a link to use for using a barometer and clouds to forecast the weather: http://web2.iadfw.net/danb1/clouds.htm
Are Hurricanes low pressure weather system's or high pressure system's support your choice with a reason?
Low pressure. Nearly all storms on earth have low barometric pressure. Hurricanes hold some of the record for low pressure
What powers convection currents in earth?
Not only air temperature, but also barometric pressure differences contribute.

How does the atmosphere change the earth?
Barometric pressure,humidity,and temperature.
What is Jupiter's average barometric pressure?
According to measurements of Viking spacecrafts the average pressure is around 0.7% of the normal pressure on the Earth, but they are large seasonal variations due to freezing of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere during the winter.

What is biometric pressure?
Barometric pressure is the pressure used by the weight of air over a place of Earth's surface, measured by a barometer.
What kind of pressure do the layers surrounding earth exert?
the barometric pressure combined with the heat of the sun creates an expansion pressure which increase toward the earth's surface
Why is there no barometric pressure on the moon?
The moon is much smaller than the Earth and has a weaker gravitational field. As a result, gas on the lunar surface leaks away into space, rather than forming an atmosphere. And with no atmosphere, there can be no barometric pressure.
When the height of the mercury in a barometer is 29.92 inches the barometric pressure is?
The standard sea level pressure of Earth's atmosphere - a pressure of 1 Bar or one "atmosphere".
What layer is the pressure the highest?
The troposphere is the layer of the earth's atmosphere with the highest air pressure.
What is the atmospheric pressure on a pie chart?
The same as the atmospheric pressure on anything else on the surface of the earth.
What layer is the atmosphere pressure highest?
The troposphere is the layer of the earth's atmosphere with the highest air pressure.
What the average barometric pressure on Venus?
The atmospheric pressure at Venus's surface is 92 times that of the Earth's surface. So that's 92.92 x 105 Pa
What was the Mercury barometer used for?
The mercury barometer is a tool used by meteorologists and other scientists to find the air, or "barometric" pressure. Because mercury is liquid at room temperature, it can change shape due to changes in the atmosphere. Earth's barometric pressure is characterized as the downward force of air on the surface of Earth. If mercury is placed in a tube and the level decreases by a huge increment, it would show an increase in barometric pressure. Mercury barometers can also be used to detect incoming storms as right before a storm, the air pressure decreases drastically.
