Why convert millibar to micropascal?

Converting millibar to micropascal allows comparison of atmospheric pressure data with very low pressure values used in acoustic measurements.

Is millibar the same as hectopascal?

Yes, the millibar is numerically identical to the hectopascal and both are commonly used in meteorology.

What is a typical use of micropascal units?

Micropascal units are commonly used to express sound pressure levels, especially in acoustic engineering and underwater acoustic measurements.
