Future Climate — Atmospheric Pressure

Overview

The Future Climate — Atmospheric Pressure indicator shows projections of mean sea level pressure based on CMIP6 climate models. Atmospheric pressure is a fundamental indicator of synoptic-scale weather patterns.

Pressure changes influence atmospheric circulation, precipitation formation and intensity, wind regimes, and the transport of moisture and pollutants. Long-term changes in pressure patterns can alter regional climate regimes.

Calculation Methodology

Data come from the Open-Meteo Climate Change API (CMIP6 models). The variable used is pressure_msl (mean sea level pressure). Data are interpolated to the site's geographic position.
