BAROMETER & BAROMETRIC PRESSURE
A barometer is a device that measures the pressure of the air pushing on it
—this
measuremen
t is called the barometric pressure. We don’t actually feel the barometric
pressure because the air pressure is pushing equally in every direction.
RELATIVE AIR PRESSURE
Relative air pressure is the same as the barometric pressure. The calculation of relative air
pressure is a combination of the absolute air pressure and the altitude.
ABSOLUTE AIR PRESSURE
Absolute air pressure is the actual air pressure on the barometer without regard to altitude.
INCHES OF MERCURY
(inHg)
Inches of Mercury is the common unit of measurement for air pressure in the United States.
HECTOPASCALS
(hPa)
Hectopascals are the common units of measurement for air pressure in the International
System (SI) of measurement. The hectopascal holds the same value
Important Note:
The Professional weather station includes a base station (receiver), a transmitter unit, one
