We know that force acting perpendicularly on an area is thrust & thrust acting on an unit area is called pressure. Pressure exerted by wind or air hasn't been classified individually,rather we all together say it atmospheric pressure.
And it is nearly 100000 Pa.
so we may say it as atmospheric pressure.

What is atmospheric pressure based on?
What do you mean "... based on"? The athmosperic pressure is "weight of air" and it can be measured. Strikly speaking: "force per unit area exerted against a surface by the weight of air above that surface at any given point" (wikipedia) Ap could be given in force/area units for example lb/sq ft, kg/sq meter etc.
What produces air pressure at the surface of the earth?
Air pressure is the force exerted by the gases in the atmosphere as Earth's gravity pulls on it. The atmosphere can be thought of as a 'sea' of gas surrounding the planet. Air pushes against us from all directions as the weight of air above compresses the air below (this is why altitude affects air pressure.)
What is a area where the air pressure is high?
F=P*A where F is the force and P= pressure and A= area , so if pressure is high the area is to be low to keep the force constant
Is air pressure affected by the amount of air above an area and temperature?

Force put on a given area by the weight of the air above it is called?
We measure this force using a barometer. Because there are different kinds of barometers, there are also different unit of measurement for this force. A mercury barometer measures in inches of mercury (in Hg), the english (non-metric) system uses pounds per square inch (PSI), and the pascal (Pa) is the standard in the metric system. In weather terminology, the bar and millibar indicate pressure readings.

What force put on a given area by the weight of the air above it is called what?
Atmospheric pressure
The force put on a given area by the weight of the air above it?
The atmospheric pressure at that place and at that time.
What is the force put on a given area by the weight of the air above it called?
Atmospheric pressure.. maybe
What is the force put on a giving area by the air above?
Air pressure

What is the definition of atmospheric pressure?
Air pressure is the force (weight of Earth's atmosphere) exerted on you by the weight of tiny particles of air, the air molecules above and around you. This is also referred to as "barometric pressure" (measured with a barometer) and will change with altitude or elevation. The standard pressure is 1 ATM (atmosphere), equal to 101325 pascals or 1013.25 mbar.
What is the population of Air Force Area Gorakhpur?
Air Force Area - Gorakhpur -'s population is 9,593.
What is exerting pressure?
Force exerts pressure. For example: At the surface of the Earth the column of air in the atmosphere above an area has a mass that exerts a force (due to gravity) on that surface area.
What is the area of Beale Air Force Base?
The area of Beale Air Force Base is 26.05 square kilometers.
What is the mo-to of the US air force?
The motto of the United States Air Force is "Above All".
