also I am sure that you probably know by now, but

1000 millibars = 1 bar = 14.7 psi

millibars are typically represented as mbar

enjoy..

We had several discussions about this a month or so ago.

1 BAR = 14.5 PSI
1 ATM = 14.7 PSI

1 BAR does not equal 1 ATM

ATM = atmosphere

If you guys dont believe me: http://www.convert-me.com/en/convert/pressure

EDIT: if you input 1000 millibar and convert it, the result will be 14.5 PSI not 14.7

Boosted ZC: Don't worry about asking questions you may think are dumb. Usually, someone else wants to know the same thing but is afraid to ask.

Now, let's stop talking about atmopsheric pressure...you're starting to make me think about my job on my day off.
