At sea level,the pressure of the atmosphere pushing down on the ocean surface is reffered to as 1 atmosphere of pressure.An atmosphere is the pressure exerted on a surface at sea level by the column of air above it.As you go below the oceans surface ,the pressure increases because of the force of the water molecules pushing down.
It's a measure of pressure. Specifically, it's the amount of pressure exerted by the air in the atmosphere at sea level.
Atmospheric pressure is defined as the force per unit area exerted against a surface by the weight of air. Air pressure above sea level can be calculated as p = 101325 (1 - 2.25577 10-5 h)5.25588 where p = air pressure (Pa) h = altitude above sea level (m) The standard atmosphere is a unit of pressure and is defined as being equal to 101.325 kPa.
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.
Standard air pressure at sea level is 1 atmosphere, or 1 atm. This is the adopted standard atmosphere value, but sea level pressure will not always equal to this value due to changes in weather. 1 atm = 101 325 pascals = 1.01325 bars.
The pressure exerted by the weight of the atmosphere, which at sea level has a mean value of 101,325 pascals (roughly 14.6959 pounds) .

Air pressure is the amount of pressure exerted by Earth's atmosphere in a specific place, while altitude is the vertical distance of an object or place from sea level. Air pressure decreases as altitude increases, since there is less atmosphere to exert pressure.

Atmospheric pressure refers to the force per unit area exerted against a surface by the weight of air above that surface in the Earth's atmosphere. The standard atmosphere (symbol: atm) is a unit of pressure at sea level and is equal to 101325 Pascal.

Pressure is a type of force, one which presses or pushes. A different type of force would be pulling. The word pressure is particularly used when we are talking about a force that is exerted by a gas or a liquid, which is distributed over some wide area. Normal atmospheric pressure, for example, is 24 pounds per square inch, and it is exerted on everything that is in the atmosphere at sea level (the pressure declines at higher altitude).

Air pressure is the amount of force exerted on an object by the atmosphere. It is greatest at sea level.It is greatest in the exosphere, due to the fact that air pressure is greater as the altitude rises; the exosphere is the highest level within the atmosphere.Air pressure is greatest in the areas that are small and enclosed. This is because there is no way to escape.
Fluid Pressure is evenly distributed at a given level in fluid. Your welcome
The standard sea level pressure of Earth's atmosphere - a pressure of 1 Bar or one "atmosphere".
Although you didn't mention air pressure, that seems to be what you are asking about. Air exerts pressure because air has weight, and we have a very thick atmosphere (which extends upward for about 200 miles) pressing down on us. But at higher altitudes, such as a mountain top, there is less air pressing down, since only the part of the atmosphere that is higher than where you are, is pressing down on you.
