∙ 13y agoThe lowest pressure ever measured was 25.69 inches, set on Oct. 12, 1979, during Typhoon Tip in the western Pacific Ocean. The measurement was based on an instrumental observation made from a reconnaissance aircraft.
(Answered by Doyle Rice, USA TODAY's weather editor, January 24, 2007)
Comment: The question is too imprecise. It should refer to the lowest atmospheric pressure at mean sea level. Obviously the actual instrumental measurement will have been considerably lower; it would then have been corrected to compensate for the altitude.

∙ 12y agoThe lowest atmospheric pressure recorded in a hurricane was 882 mb (26.05 inHg). It was recorded on 19-10-2005 in the eye of hurricane Wilma.
Note: The lowest pressure recorded in any hurricane/cyclone/typhoon was 870 mb (25.69 inHg). It was recorded on 12-10-1979 in the eye of super typhoon Tip.

Can sea-level pressure and station pressure be the same?
Yes, if the station is situated at sea level.
How much pressure is in the mesosphere?
The pressure is very low. At the bottom of the mesosphere, the pressure is about one thousandth of sea level air pressure. At the top of the mesosphere the pressure is down to only about one millionth of sea level pressure.
What is the difference between surface pressure and sea level pressure?
Surface pressure is simply the air pressure at ground level, anywhere on Earth. Sea level pressure is an adjustment made so that we can compare pressure at stations of different elevations. Sea level pressure is surface pressure if it were taken at sea level. Small differences in air pressure are important in meteorology, which is why we measure pressure precisely. The problem is that pressure is a function of elevation to first order, and weather differences to second. That's why it must be adjusted to be meaningful. Otherwise we would think that Denver, CO is always under an extreme low pressure system.
What is the partial pressure of oxygen on Mt Everest if the atmospheric pressure on Mt Everest is one-third the atmospheric pressure at sea level?
It will be same as it is at sea level.
Can station pressure ever exceed sea level pressure?
Yes
Does a hurricane or a tornado have the lowest pressure?
Some of the lowest atmospheric pressures ever recorded at ground level or sea level were recorded in tornadoes and hurricanes. The lowest sea level pressure recorded at any United States-certified observing station was 892 millibars (26.34"), recorded at Matecumbe Key, Florida on September 2, 1935 in the "Labor Day Hurricane". The world record goes to Typhoon Tip when, on August of 1979, it recorded a central pressure of 870 millibars (25.69").It is not known how low pressure in a tornado can get because very few measurements have been actually taken from inside a tornado.The lowest pressure recorded in a tornado was approximately 688 millibars in Tulia, Texas on April 21, 2007.However, this was not a sea level measurement and would likely have been higher if the tornado had occurred at sea level.
What is the largest pressure developed in a laboratory?
The highest pressure ever recorded is 1085.6 millibars (mb), or 32.06 inch of mercury (inHg). It was recorded at Tosontsengel, Khövsgöl Province, Mongolia, December 19, 2001. This is the equivalent sea-level pressure; Tosontsengel is located at 1,300 metres (4,300 ft) above sea level.
How does the air pressure within a tornado compare to that of the area around it?
Air pressure in a tornado is lower than in the surroundings. Verifiable pressure drops of up to 100 millibars, about 10% of sea level pressure, have been recorded inside tornadoes.
What is the air pressure at sea level called?
Sea level pressure, sometimes as mean sea level pressure.
Does a oil pressure switch monitor the oil level?
A pressure switch reads pressure not level.
The measurement of air pressure at sea level is called?
Sea level pressure.
How does the atmospheric pressure at altitudes sea level compare with atmospheric pressure at sea level?
the atmospheric pressure below sea level is highter (novanet)
Does the coolant level affect the oil pressure?
No, the oil level can affect the the oil pressure if it is too high or low. The coolant level has no connection with the engine oil pressure.
How much air pressure is on you if i'm below sea level?
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.
Can sea-level pressure and station pressure be the same?
Yes, if the station is situated at sea level.
How does the atmospheric pressure below sea level compare with atmospheric pressure at sea level?
It is greater.
What is the pressure detector placed in a vessel to measure the level of a liquid?
DiFFERENTIAL PRESSURE LEVEL DETECTOR
