The three pressures on your LOOP was "altimeter", "barometer" and "pressure". If you set station altitude = 0 then you are telling your weather station's barometer that it is located at sea level. Therefore all three pressures shouldl read the same. "pressure" is just your local atmospheric pres

There are two sea level pressures. One is QNH (Altimeter setting) and the other is MSLP. Although WeeWX calculates both sea level pressures, the one that is displayed on the default Seasons skin is MSLP.(Mean Sea Level Pressure). WeeWX displays MSLP as "Barometer". MSLP is indeed, calculated

The best way to calibrate is to compare your station pressures with a calibrated barometer of known accuracy. This will tell us if all barometers are reporting true pressure. A good low cost, accurate barometer like the Starpath USB baro would be suitable for this purpose. There's a review on w

No wonder the OP is confused. In Europe, METARs generally don’t have SLP, they have QNH stated as a “Q code” in the actual METAR report. An Altimeter /QNH reading of 1022 would be Q1022 in the METAR report. So typically, QNH > QFF when current or average outside temps are greater than the ISA
