Steps to encode barometric pressure drop either the first 9 or 10, move decimal one place to the right
Encode barometric pressure of 983.0mb remove 9 (83.0), move decimal 1 right (830) -> 830 mb
Steps to decode barometric pressure above 500 add 9 before the number, move decimal between last 2 numbers
Decode barometric pressure of 889 add 9 (9889), move decimal between last two numbers (988.9) -->988.9mb
Steps to decode barometric pressure below 500 add 10 before the number, move decimal between last two numbers
Decode barometric pressure of 178 add 10 (10178) move decimal between last two numbers (1017.8) -> 1017.8mb
Barometric trend the pressure for the last 3 hours
Barometric trend "+" pressure is higher now than 3 hours ago
Barometric trend "-" pressure is lower now that 3 hours ago
