Millibars are used to measure air-pressure. The 'standard' air pressure at sea level is 14 pounds per square inch (PSI) - or 1 bar. The further away from the Earth's surface you are, the less the air pressure is - so 1 bar is divided into 1,000 divisions called millibars (mb). Weather reports quote the pressure in mb.

What weather does millibars measure?
A millibar is a unit of pressure most commonly used to measure atmospheric pressure.
How many meters per millibars?
None. They are units of measure for different things. Meters measure linear distance millibars measure pressure.
Why is a Baromerter used?
it is used to measure the air pressure which is useful for the meteorologists to tell the weather, the air pressure is measured in millibars!
How high in meters is 5 millibars?
1 atm (atmosphere) is the air pressure at the earths surface. It is equivalent to the pressure of a 10.3323m water column. So 5atm = 5x10.3323m = 51.6615m (of water).
What deos a barometer measure?
A barometer is used to measure air pressure. It measures the atmospheric pressure using air, mercury, or water and will be shown as inches of mercury or millibars.
Does a wind vane measure in millibars?
A wind vane measures direction of the wind. Millibars are a measure of pressure. A barometer measures in millibars.
What weather does millibars measure?
A millibar is a unit of pressure most commonly used to measure atmospheric pressure.
What is used to measure air pressure.?
It is measured in inches of Mercury, millibars, and hectoPascals.
How many meters per millibars?
None. They are units of measure for different things. Meters measure linear distance millibars measure pressure.
What is measured in millibars?
Millibars (mb.) you can use that measurement to measure Air Pressure. The NWS uses mbs to measure the air pressure inside a hurricane.
What do barometers measure in?
Found out myself, Millibars

What is a barometers?
A barometer is a device used to measure atmospheric pressure. If pressure is high (good weather), then pressure on the barometer will exceed 1000 millibars. If the pressure is low (bad weather), then the pressure reading on the barometer will be below 1000 millibars.
How high in meters is 5 millibars?
1 atm (atmosphere) is the air pressure at the earths surface. It is equivalent to the pressure of a 10.3323m water column. So 5atm = 5x10.3323m = 51.6615m (of water).

What does MB mean and stand for weather?
MB in weather stands for Millibars, and is a measure of pressure in the atmosphere.
