What is the conversion rate from newton per square meter to millibar?

One newton per square meter equals 0.01 millibar.

Why is millibar used in meteorology?

Millibar is used because it is convenient for expressing atmospheric pressure and is numerically identical to hectopascal, widely employed in weather reporting.

Can this conversion be used for engineering applications?

Yes, it aids engineers in converting pressure data into units commonly understood in meteorology and various technical fields.
