What Is Station Pressure?
The actual air pressure measured at a weather station's own elevation, before any adjustment to sea level. In technical terms: The atmospheric pressure observed at the station's reference elevation, uncorrected for altitude; reduced to sea-level pressure or converted to an altimeter setting for comparison between stations.
