What does 1 newton/square centimeter represent?

It is a pressure unit defined as one newton of force applied uniformly over an area of one square centimeter, equivalent to 10,000 pascals.

Why is millibar used in meteorology?

Millibar is a convenient unit for expressing atmospheric pressure, equal to 100 pascals, and commonly used in weather forecasts and pressure readings.

How do I convert newton/square centimeter to millibar?

Multiply the value in newton/square centimeter by 100 to get the equivalent pressure in millibar.
