The units used for pressure are hPa (hecto Pascals) or the equivalent mb (millibars), but in the US inHg (inches of mercury) are still used by some.
The units used for pressure are hPa (hecto Pascals, although not a System International unit, this is used by meterorologists in much of the world) or mb (millibars, this is the equivalent used for public communications), but mmHg (millimetres of mercury, not used now), kPa (kiloPascals, used in Canada), inHg (inches of mercury, used in USA and by some UK instruments) are alternatives. Cumulus [[cumulus.ini|supports]]:
*0 = mb  (millibars)
*1 = hPa (hectoPascals)
*2 = in  (inches of mercury)
