Hi BTwizy,

Glad you took HookFynn's advise... We had a few really good topics going on a few months ago about Barometers, that I think you will enjoy reading. Here are the links:

After you have had a chance to read these posts, let us know if there is anything we left out that you would like us to touch on, or if there is anything we can explain in greater detail.

Thanks again for posting...

Cool... I figured that it would give you a good starting point. I forgot to post the definition of a barometer:

"A barometer is an instrument used 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."

Let us know if you need us to elaborate on anything...
