barometer

     

A barometer is an instrument use to measure atmospheric pressure. It can measure the pressure exerted by the atmosphere by using water, air, or mercury. Pressure tendency can forecast short term changes in the weather. Numerous measurements of air pressure are used within surface weather analysis to help find surface troughs, high pressure systems, and frontal boundaries.

Trivia about barometer

  • Not long after its development, Robert Boyle renamed the Torricellian Tube this
  • A mercury type of this weather instrument is reliable to within 0.03 inches
  • Mercury & aneroid are the 2 main types of this instrument used to measure air pressure
  • Mercury and aneroid are the 2 main types of this instrument that's used to measure atmospheric pressure
  • In mid-century Otto Von Guericke was the first to use this device to predict the weather
  • Blaise Pascal proved the atmosphere has weight by sending a man up a mountain with this instrument
  • (Kelly of the Clue Crew gives the clue from a lab.) Stretch a balloon over a glass, secure with rubber bands, then place a straw on top & you have a simple version of this device that measures air pressure
  • Aneroid & mercury types of this instrument measure atmospheric pressure
  • Torricelli made improvements to the microscope & telescope, but he's best known for developing this instrument
