What does one dyne per square centimeter represent?

It represents a unit of pressure equal to one dyne of force applied uniformly over one square centimeter, also known as the barye in the CGS system.

Why convert from dyne per square centimeter to millibar?

Converting allows comparing legacy CGS pressure measurements with modern meteorological and atmospheric pressure units widely used today.

Where is millibar commonly used?

Millibar is widely used in meteorology, atmospheric sciences, aviation weather briefings, and calibration of barometers.
