it's the standard pressure at which all pilots set their altimeter, when communicating Fight Levels.

When a pressure is measured as 1016mb what does that mean?
That would be slightly higher than the 'normal' atmospheric pressure of 1013mb
How does the air pressure on mars compare with earth?
earths average air pressure is 1013mb where as mars average air pressure is 7mb
How does barometric pressure affect gauge pressure?
Assuming we are using a pressure transducer to measure barometric pressure, I understand that a gauge type transducer would be used. The internal diaphragm would have a fixed pressure behind it (at a guess would be at standard temp/pressure, STP, ie 20 deg C @ 1013mb), so the transducer has a reference to work against. The front of the diaphragm would be exposed to atmosphere. I would assume the reference (gauge) pressure would vary as the barometric pressure varies, as the diaphragm would move towards the side with least pressure, or at 1013mb the diapragm would be in the centre (which could be used as the null output voltage), higher than 1013mb could produce a positive voltage swing, less than 1013mb could go negative. This is all I can think of, please let me know if on the right track.
The strongest hurricanes have central sea level pressure around 500 mb. True or false?
False - the strongest hurricanes have pressures a little bit under 900mb (average sea level pressure is 1013mb).
How do you calculate room pressure?
Pressure altitude can be determined by dialing your kollsman window to 29.92" or 1013mb the altitude displayed will be pressure altitude. Or if you want to use a mathematical equation to calculate pressure it is: 29.92-current baro.=x then take x*1000+Current field elevation=pressure altitude. Example: Current baro is 30.08 field elevation is 845'. 29.92-30.08= -.16 now take -.16*1000+845=685 is your pressure altitude.
