Best Answer

Pressure drops at higher elevations because of the decrease in the weight of air. Under the water, pressure climbs with increasing depth because of the combined weight of the water and that of the atmosphere.

Why do you mentioning the boiler pressure in 'ata'?

Normal atmospheric pressure is abbreviated as atm. But when computing for the amount of total pressure exerted on an object at a specific depth or elevation, including normal atmospheric pressure, then the abbreviation ata is used. It stands for atmospheric pressure absolute.
