The air pressure at sea level is typically around 1013 millibars or 29.92 inches of mercury.
Atmospheric pressure is the weight of the air above the surface of the earth. As elevation increases, there is less air above the location and the pressure is lower. At sea level the column of air above the area is greater.?æ
Air pressure is greatest at ground level because the weight of the air above compresses the air molecules closer together, creating higher pressure. As altitude increases, there is less air above, resulting in lower air pressure.
Station Pressure is the actual pressure the station records, however this isn't really used in meteorology as there is no comparsion due to elevation, therefore for a synoptic look, Station Pressure is converted to Sea Level Pressure.
The average air pressure at sea level is around 1013.25 millibars or 29.92 inches of mercury.
Sea level pressure, sometimes as mean sea level pressure.
Average sea-level pressure is 101.325 kPa (1013.25 hPa or mbar) or 29.92 inches (inHg) or 760 millimetres of Mercury (mmHg).
Below sea level atmospheric pressure increases with depth. Air pressure at sea level is about 14.7 psia. Air pressure below sea level would be slightly higher.
Sea level pressure.
The air pressure is greatest at sea level.

The air pressure at sea level is typically around 1013 millibars or 29.92 inches of mercury.
Sea level
At sea level
Air pressure in a valley below sea level would be higher than at sea level. This is because the weight of the air column above is greater in the valley due to the higher density of air molecules compressed into a smaller volume.
Assuming you are talking about air pressure, atmospheric pressure is created by the weight of the air resting against the earth. the higher up you go, the less air stacked on top of itself, and the pressure is less, until there is no more air at all (space). The pressure of air at sea level is relatively the same around the world because of all the water flows to the same level. this obviously changes with storms and hurricanes - as those move some of the air out of the way. So if you were to go below sea level, there would be more air on top of you, and the pressure would be higher. In death valley (well below sea level) the atmospheric pressure is much higher than at sea level. To answer the question, No, pressure is not negative below sea level. It is greater than at sea level.
