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.


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.


Would a se-leave pressure of 1040 mb be considered high or low pressure?

Yes, 1040mb is a very high surface pressure.


What is the normal atmospheric pressure in MB?

Normal atmospheric pressure is around 1013.25 millibars (MB) at sea level. However, this value can vary slightly depending on weather conditions and altitude.


What mb stands when measurement atmospheric pressure?

What does MB mean and stand for weather?

MB in weather stands for Millibars, and is a measure of pressure in the atmosphere.


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.


At what synoptic pressure is a cyclone declared?

A cyclone is typically declared when the pressure at its center drops below 1000 millibars (mb) in the Northern Hemisphere or 980 mb in the Southern Hemisphere, as this indicates a significant drop in pressure indicative of a developing storm.
