GIS: How to read METAR & TAF values to get the pressure at sea level?

Question

I have this link on how to get the altitude in Android -> SensorManager.getAltitude(pressure at sea level, atmospheric pressure)

But... need to know the value for PRESSURE AT SEA LEVEL. I have read the below statement from Android documentation on how to obtain it.

The pressure at sea level must be known, usually it can be retrieved from airport databases in the vicinity.

Then, I found url that may give the values by providing the airport code. In my case, it's Tokyo International Airport (Haneda). The airport code is HND.

Here's the web service provider url: http://avdata.geekpilot.net/

Here's the sample output for Tokyo International Airport (http://avdata.geekpilot.net/weather/HND)

Problem: don't know on how to read the above information to obtain the value.

Answer 1

METAR altimeter (sea level pressure) data are usually presented as A2992 or ALTSG 2992 where 29.92 is the value in in. Hg or at airports using millibars as Q1000 as in your example, which is exactly 1 atmosphere or bar.

Answer 2

I found url to translate obtain it and translate it to readable format.

find local sea level pressure

My airport code there is RJTT (Tokyo International Airport Haneda)

Here's the sample output (Pressure (altimeter): 30.21 inches Hg (1023.0 mb)):
