Not that it matters much, but in your graph, you are breaking it down to measurements every 0.10 mBar (not A/D conversion resolution). For every 0.10 mBar, your altitude changes by about 0.82 meters. However, this is not the resolution of your analog to digital converter at 14 bits. You will notice that from 0 to 22.13 meters altitude, your a/d conversion reading changes by 40. So ... 22.13 meters/40 = 0.55325 meters per 14 bit increment of your a/d converter. A lot closer to half a meter of resolution with a 14 bit conversion.
