atmospheric pressures

Barometric force measurements

Atmospheric pressures is the plural of atmospheric pressure—the force exerted by the weight of air above a given point.

Different locations have different atmospheric pressures depending on altitude and weather conditions.

The term appears in scientific contexts comparing measurements: Atmospheric pressures at sea level and at mountain summits differ dramatically.
