1.8 CF Standard Names: Air Pressure At Mean Sea Level (air_pressure_at_mean_sea_level)

Record Label : air_pressure_at_mean_sea_level

Record Title : Air Pressure At Mean Sea Level

CF Standard Name : air_pressure_at_mean_sea_level

Record Description : Air pressure at sea level is the quantity often abbreviated as MSLP or PMSL. Air pressure is the force per unit area which would be exerted when the moving gas molecules of which the air is composed strike a theoretical surface of any orientation. "Mean sea level" means the time mean of sea surface elevation at a given location over an arbitrary period sufficient to eliminate the tidal signals.

Canonical Units : Pa
