What is the technical atmosphere (at) unit?

The technical atmosphere (at) is a non-SI pressure unit defined as one kilogram-force per square centimeter, approximately equal to 98,066.5 pascals.

Is dyne/square centimeter used frequently today?

Dyne/square centimeter, also known as barye, is often used in CGS-system physics and some legacy scientific literature, but it is less common in modern standard measurements.
