Barometricos
Barometricos refers to instruments used to measure atmospheric pressure, commonly known as barometers. These devices are essential in meteorology for weather forecasting and in aviation for altitude determination. The principle behind most barometers involves balancing the weight of the atmosphere against a column of liquid or a mechanical spring.
The most classic type is the mercury barometer, invented by Evangelista Torricelli in the 17th century. It
Barometric pressure readings are typically reported in units like hectopascals (hPa), millibars (mb), or inches of
