What range does sea level pressure values generally fall in?

980 mb to 1045 mb (Those are the values for deep low-pressure systems and strong high-pressure systems). The average sea-level pressure is 1013 mb. The highest and lowest sea level pressures record are 1084 mb and 870 mb.


What does mb stand for in measuring central pressure?

Millibars (mb) is a measure of the pressure (or weight) of the air usually taken as close to the core of the hurricane as possible. As a general rule, the lower the pressure, the higher the winds.


What kind of pressure will tornadoes and hurricanes develop in?

Tornadoes can have low pressure at their center, typically around 800 mb. Hurricanes usually have even lower pressure at their center, below 900 mb. These low pressures are a result of the strong updrafts and rotation within these intense storm systems.


How do you get the percentage of atmosphere above a height given in km and then how do you get the pressure for the height in mb?

To find the percentage of atmosphere above a certain height in kilometers, you can use the barometric formula to calculate the pressure at that height. Then, you can simply divide the pressure at the given height by the pressure at sea level (1013.25 mb) and multiply by 100 to get the percentage of atmosphere above that height.


What is the lowest MB in hurricane history?

The lowest pressure ever recorded in a storm to be labeled a hurricane was 882 mb (millibars) in Hurricane Wilma in 2005. However, Typhoon Tip (a typhoon is really just a hurricane in the western Pacific) had a recorded pressure of 870 mb.

What does 1.92 MB mean?

The meaning of 1.92 mb may depend on how it is used. The proper meaning of mb is millibar(s), so in that context it would mean 1.92 millibars of barometric pressure. It is sometimes used improperly for megabyte(s), which should be abbreviated as MB.


Will a hurricane get stronger if its eye's pressure drops?

Well this is a twofold answer because pressure itself does not mean anything when it comes to wind but rather pressure gradient or how fast the pressure drops over a given area. The faster the pressure drops over a small area the stronger the wind is forced to blow.Now lets take 2 examples here: atmospheric pressure 915 mb pressure drop: 25 mb Distance: 100 miles pressure drop/mile = 1/4 mb atmospheric pressure: 990 mb pressure drop: 25 mb Distance: 100 miles pressure drop/mile = 1/4 mb in these 2 situations the wind would blow the same speed. However like most situations the standard air pressure outside of the system would be around the same pressure or around 1010 mb so if we have the same 2 storms again but one of the storms is much larger then the other storm here is the result: atmospheric pressure 915 mb pressure drop: 95 mb Distance: 380 miles pressure drop/mile = 1/4 mb atmospheric pressure: 990 mb pressure drop: 20 mb Distance: 80 miles pressure drop/mile = 1/4 mb Again the wind speed would be the same since we are still falling at 1/4 mb per mile. So atmospheric pressure, storm size, surrounding air pressure, and other factors all come into play here... however if you had 2 of the same sized storms in the same atmospheric conditions but one had a pressure of 915 mb and the other had an air pressure of 990 mb the one with the 915 would have a higher wind speed due to a higher pressure gradient.
