QNH/QFE, the decimal is always rounded down... so 1013.9 is given as 1013.
Thanks for confirming. Sorry for the simplification, it's understood that 1 hPa is around 27 feet on ISA SL but increasing going up, and thus around 30' below TA/L where pilots need it.

Going deeper, if the value as displayed in single digits decimals fluctuates between x.9 and x+1.0 what is the filtering logic? So you do not have to issue a new report for every instant change. Genuine geeky question.
