Pressure ChangeThe net difference between the barometric pressure at the beginning and ending of a specified interval of time, usually the three hour period preceding an observation.
atmospheric pressure"(Also called barometric pressure.) The pressure exerted by the atmosphere as a consequence of gravitational attraction exerted upon the "column" of air lying directly above the point in question.
In accordance with Bernoulli's principle where the wind speed is fastest the barometric pressure is lowest. Consequently, near the center of the cyclone the barometric pressure is very low.
His best known work is Mecanique celeste in which he describes a formula for the determination of height from barometric pressure.

Atmospheric Pressure: Also called barometric pressure. It is the pressure exerted by the atmosphere as a consequence of the gravitational attraction occurring over a column of air at a specific point.
Air: Mixture of gases which form the atmosphere.
