BAROMETER & BAROMETRIC PRESSURE
A barometer is a device that measures the pressure of the air pushing on it—this
measurement is called the barometric pressure. We don't actually feel the

ABSOLUTE AIR PRESSURE
Absolute air pressure is the actual air pressure on the barometer without regard to
altitude.
INCHES OF MERCURY (inHg)
