Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct sea level air pressure is 1010.5 mb. In station models, the first digit (or first two digits if the value is below 1000) is often omitted and must be inferred. If the value shown is 105, it represents 1010.5 mb, assuming the leading "10" and adding a decimal before the last digit.
