If you have to make an important or dangerous excursion (sea, mountains), confirm the MW500 predictions by contacting your local meteorological institute. Furthermore, at sea and in the mountains, climatic conditions can change extremely rapidly, creating life-threatening conditions.

It cannot therefore determine whether the atmospheric pressure changes because of a change in altitude or changed climatic conditions. You therefore need to calibrate the barometer to the altitude of the mea- surement site.
