About both units

From

Atmosphere

atm

The standard atmosphere equals 101,325 pascals exactly — defined by CGPM in 1954. Represents average sea-level atmospheric pressure. Used in chemistry, aviation and engineering as a reference pressure.

Real-world: Sea-level pressure: 1 atm. Mount Everest summit: ~0.33 atm. Submarine at 100 m: ~11 atm.

Millibar

mbar

The millibar equals 100 pascals or 1/1000 bar. It is the traditional unit for atmospheric pressure in meteorology (now called hectopascal, hPa, but numerically identical). Sea-level pressure averages 1013 mbar.

Real-world: Sea-level average: 1013 mbar. Deep low-pressure storm: below 980 mbar. Hurricane eye: below 920 mbar.

Tips & common mistakes

Quick tips

1 atm = 101,325 Pa = 1.01325 bar = 14.696 psi.
Note: atm ≠ bar. Close but not identical.
Modern SI prefers pascals; atm is a legacy reference.

Avoid these

Using 1 atm = 1 bar exactly — off by 1.3%.
Confusing standard atm with technical atmosphere (98,066.5 Pa) or atmosphere-absolute in diving.
Applying 1 atm outside sea level without correction.
