millibar
This term is a specialized technical unit used almost exclusively within the fields of meteorology and atmospheric science. It provides a precise measurement of air pressure, where lower values typically indicate stormy weather and higher values suggest fair conditions.
As a standard unit of measurement, it follows the convention of remaining invariant in form when used in technical contexts, though it may be pluralized in general descriptive prose. It has been largely superseded in official international scientific standards by the hectopascal (hPa), although the two units are numerically identical.
