What does one newton per square millimeter represent?

One newton per square millimeter is a unit of pressure defined as one newton of force applied over an area of one square millimeter, exactly equal to one megapascal.

Is the standard atmosphere pressure constant everywhere?

The standard atmosphere is defined as exactly 101,325 pascals, representing average sea level pressure, but actual atmospheric pressure varies with geographic location and altitude.
