Atmospheric pressure varies with altitude and air density. Average sea-level pressure is 101.325 kPa (1013.25 mbar) or 29.921 inches of Mercury (inHg) or 760 millimeters of mercury (mmHg).
pressure is essentilly bp at sea level
In short, yes. The commonly-reported "pressure" talked about by meteorologists has been extrapolated down to sea level to eliminate pressure differences caused by altitude (air pressure drops much more quickly with height than it does between even the strongest high and low pressure systems). Air pressure sometimes refers to the pressure observed at a location and not adjusted down to sea level, whereas barometric pressure almost always refers to a sea-level pressure. But maybe this is too much information. A better answer would be "yes."
Hi Falling barometric pressure means the atmosphere at the barometer is becoming less heavy. It also generally means a storm of some sort is coming with inclement weather. Here's a link to use for using a barometer and clouds to forecast the weather: http://web2.iadfw.net/danb1/clouds.htm
pressure is measured in "bar" 1bar is equal to 1000millibar. this is the atmospheres base pressure. 1020millibar is high atmospheric presure. 980 mb is low air pressure. 1.02 or 0.98 bar
....a decrease of barometric pressure by 1 hPa may cause a ~1 cm rise in sea level.... (1 hPa=1 mb) or (1 hectoPascal=1 millibar)

Radar altimeter gets altitude information by bouncing a radio wave off the surface of the Earth and determines the aircrafts altitude by measuring the length of time it takes for the signal to return. Barometric altimeters get altitude information by measuring the barometric air pressure outside the aircraft. Barometric pressure decreases as altitude increases. Radar altimeters will give altitude above ground level while barometric altimeters give altitude above sea level.
Uncorrected barometric pressure is essentially BP at sea level. When you see a weather report (Weather Network etc.) the BP you see is corrected for elevation.
atmospheric pressure- and also temperature, decline with altitude. this is the principle behind all aneroid-based altimiters. The instrument, thus has to be compensated before flight by aligning with the current ground-level barometric pressure-all airports have weather stations and this information is passed to pilots by the control towers, hence Barometric pressure is Bracket Twenty nine-8. so the airmen would calibrate the barometer ( on the three o"clock position is a Kollsman window-to 29.8 which is the ground level barometric pressure- the Height indications would then read correct.The altimeter is a refined form of Aneroid barometer.
Barometric pressure (also known as atmospheric pressure) is the force exerted by the atmosphere at a given point. It is known as the "weight of the air". A barometer measures barometric pressure. Measurement of barometric pressure can be expressed in millibars(mb) or in inches or millimeters of mercury (Hg). Normal pressure at sea level is 1013.3 millibars or 29.92 inches of mercury. Fluctuations in barometric pressure are usually a sign of weather conditions. A rise in pressure usually means improving weather while falling pressure may reflect impending inclement weather. Barometric pressures will also vary with altitude and moisture.Barometric pressure in rio is 29.78 in hg and still rising
The standard sea level pressure of Earth's atmosphere - a pressure of 1 Bar or one "atmosphere".
In general, barometric pressure, or atmospheric pressure, drops as you go up in elevation. For example, at 18,000 ft. above sea level, the average barometric pressure is about half the average pressure at sea level (see the related links for charts) However, barometric pressure also varies widely with the weather (weather charts almost always show the movement of low pressure and high pressure zones), so true barometric pressure cannot simply be calculated, but must be measured. In the United States, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration provides hourly barometric readings for many locations across the country (see related National Weather Service measurement link)
An isobar is a line of equal pressure on a map . In meteorology, the barometric pressures shown are reduced to sea level, not the surface pressures .
In the United States, barometric pressure is based on inches - with normal being around 29.9 inches. In other parts of the world, the "SI" or metric units are more commonly used to represent barometric pressure.

The barometric pressure is what pilots use to gauge their altitude, however, all pilots above flight level 180 use 29.92. Barometric pressure is related to temperature changes, especially in higher altitude and mountainous areas.
