What's this do then? <#altimeterpressure>
It gives the station pressure corrected to sea level using the altitude of the station only (rather than taking other factors such as temperature into account).
On non-Davis stations, it's exactly the same as sea-level pressure, because those stations only do the simple correction anyway. On Davis stations, which do a more complicated calculation for SLP, it's calculated from various bits of data supplied by the station.
