Basic tutorials showing how the surface pressure charts data feed can be used to retrieve data.
Please refer to the Surface pressure charts detailed documentation for the surface pressure chart synoptic analysis and forecast data feeds for more detailed information. Introduction The surface pressure chart synoptic analysis and forecast data feeds provide access to the current surface pressure
Detailed documentation for surface pressure charts.
Surface pressure chart capabilities feed Description of data feed The surface pressure chart synoptic analysis and forecast capabilities data feed provides information on when the current surface pressure chart were issued, and also lists the timesteps for which surface pressure are available
The term 'North Atlantic Oscillation' is used by meteorologists to refer to variations in the large-scale surface pressure gradient in the North Atlantic region.
In the average state of the atmosphere, the North Atlantic surface pressure is relatively high in the subtropics at latitudes 20°N to 40°N ('the Azores High'), and lower further North at latitudes 50°N to 70°N (the 'Icelandic Low'). The North-South pressure difference determines the strength
Global observations of surface and upper air temperature and humidity, surface pressure and precipitation are used to provide advice on global climate variability and change.

High and low pressure systems cause day-to-day changes in our weather. In this article, we look at how they are defined and how they form.
What do we mean by 'pressure'? The Earth's atmosphere exerts pressure on the surface. Pressure is measured in hectoPascals (hPa), also called millibars. Standard pressure at sea level is defined as 1013hPa, but we can see large areas of either high or low pressure. These areas are all relative
