About Barye

The barye (Ba) is the CGS unit of pressure - 1 dyne/cm² = exactly 0.1 Pa = 1 µbar. Standard atmosphere = 1,013,250 Ba. It dominated physics and laboratory science from the mid-19th century until SI adoption. Legacy acoustic CGS literature used 1 barye (0.1 Pa) as the underwater reference pressure, creating a 100 dB offset versus the modern 1 µPa reference - a critical correction when comparing historical and modern underwater acoustics databases. Still encountered in classical fluid mechanics derivations and early 20th-century meteorological literature. 1 Ba = 0.1 Pa.

About Terapascals

A terapascal (TPa) = 10¹² Pa = 10 Mbar - pressures in giant planet cores and at the frontier of high-energy-density physics. Jupiter's centre: ~40-70 TPa; Saturn's: ~10 TPa. Earth's inner core: ~0.35 TPa; core-mantle boundary: ~0.14 TPa. Laser-driven ramp and shock compression at NIF approaches TPa regimes for fusion implosion capsule research. Hydrogen is predicted to become a superconducting metal at ~0.5-5 TPa. Understanding TPa equations of state is critical for modelling exoplanet interiors. 1 TPa = 10¹² Pa.
