How long will meteorologists keep using "hectopascals"? What's
wrong with using the SI unit of kilopascals? Surely everybody
knows that they are only using hectopascals because they can
pretend that they are the old-timey "millibars". If they want
to use millibars, then use them. Don't slap a different label
on them and pretend that you are SI-compliant when you're not.
NO MORE HECTOPASCALS!
