Barometer for measuring atmospheric pressure
Barometer. A barometer for measuring atmospheric pressure and hence predict the weather. The pointers at left indicate the atmospheric pressure and the predicted weather on the barometer face. The image is coloured red around the very dry reading. This could signify global warming. This is an aneroid barometer in which changes in atmospheric pressure causes a vacuum chamber to expand or contract. This deformation causes a pointer to move around the face of the barometer to reveal the atmospheric pressure. High pressure generally indicates a period of dry weather, whilst low pressure weather systems tend to be rainy

Atmosphere Barometer Climate Global Warming Pressure Weather Forecasting Aneroid
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases a remarkable instrument known as a barometer, designed to measure atmospheric pressure and predict weather patterns. The image features pointers on the left side of the barometer face that indicate the current atmospheric pressure and provide insights into the expected weather conditions. Interestingly, the surrounding red coloration draws attention to an extremely dry reading, which could potentially signify global warming. The particular type of barometer depicted here is an aneroid barometer, functioning through changes in atmospheric pressure that cause a vacuum chamber to expand or contract. This deformation subsequently prompts a pointer to move across the face of the instrument, revealing accurate measurements of atmospheric pressure. High-pressure readings typically suggest forthcoming periods of dry weather, while low-pressure systems are often associated with rainy conditions. As such, this photograph not only captures scientific precision but also serves as a visual reminder of how our understanding of atmospheric pressure can aid in predicting climate variations. In summary, this stunning still life image beautifully encapsulates various elements related to atmosphere, climate, and weather forecasting. It highlights both the functionality and significance of aneroid barometers in measuring atmospheric pressure while subtly alluding to potential implications such as global warming—making it a thought-provoking addition for any science enthusiast's collection.
