It depends on what you mean by "here", but at any location above sea level, aveages pressure where you live will be lower than it is at sea level. The higher up you live, the lower the aveage pressure.

How much air pressure is on you if i'm below sea level?

Below sea level atmospheric pressure increases with depth. Air pressure at sea level is about 14.7 psia. Air pressure below sea level would be slightly higher.


Where is the air pressure greater-at sea level or on a mountaintop?

Air pressure is Greater at sea level.Atmospheric pressure is higher at sea level. There is more atmosphere on top of the observer at that point, so the pressure is higher.


Is atmospheric pressure higher on a mountain or sea level?

The answer is sea level. Because atmospheric pressure decreases when altitude increases

What is the difference between surface pressure and sea level pressure?

Surface pressure is simply the air pressure at ground level, anywhere on Earth. Sea level pressure is an adjustment made so that we can compare pressure at stations of different elevations. Sea level pressure is surface pressure if it were taken at sea level. Small differences in air pressure are important in meteorology, which is why we measure pressure precisely. The problem is that pressure is a function of elevation to first order, and weather differences to second. That's why it must be adjusted to be meaningful. Otherwise we would think that Denver, CO is always under an extreme low pressure system.
