A barometer is a device for measuring atmospheric pressure and thus determining changes in the weather, the height of mountains, and other phenomena. The basic principle behind the barometer is the discovery in 1643 by Torricelli, that atmospheric pressure might be counterpoised by a column of mercury standing as high in proportion to the thirty-fo...
