Oh I'm not so sure.
It does get a little awkward with QNH and QFE, the latter being field
elevation of course.

Why do barometers have different centre readings? I thought 1000 mbar
was average, as that's what barometers always used to have as the
central reading ("change"), but Wikipedia says it's 1013. I've seen some
newer ones with 1010 as the centre.
In space the average is 0 mbar
The same as the pressure between your ears.
