But if you want to know whether you need to take an umbrella with you, you need a good barometer. Only this device can tell you for sure if it's going to rain during the next few hours or not. So, what is a barometer? It's the tool that measures the atmospheric pressure and predicts the weather…

We were filling supplements for the week, and I was hunched over moaning. I glared at the clouds building out the window. It was all their fault...

Barometric pressure is the weight of an overlying air mass in a particular area. It’s synonymous with atmospheric pressure. Meteorologists monitor barometric readings to predict weather changes; shifts in the barometer can indicate the approach of a high-pressure (usually fair-weather) or low-pressure (more unsettled) system. While less familiar than the concept of temperature, barometric pressure is a useful—and fairly straightforward—statistic for the average, weather-wise person to keep…

Deep Sea Physiology Introduction In high altitude, the problem is with low atmospheric (barometric) pressure. In deep seas or mines, the problem is with high barometric pressure. The increased pressure creates two major problems: Compression effect on the body and internal organs Decrease in volume of gases.
