What is dyne per square centimeter?

It is a CGS unit of pressure representing one dyne of force uniformly applied on one square centimeter, also known as the barye, equal to 0.1 pascal.

What does atmosphere technical [at] mean?

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

Why convert between these two units?

Converting allows comparison and interpretation of pressure values between legacy CGS-based measurements and older industrial engineering standards.
