A quick question from one still learning in the ways of the force, what does extrap 916MB mean. Does extrap mean extrapolated? If so, extrapolated from what?

Pressure is recorded above the surface then calculated to indicate pressure at sea level. When TCs bomb they always try to fix the exact SLP but extra is frequently used.
