baric
Concerning atmospheric pressure
Baric means relating to weight or atmospheric pressure.
The term appears primarily in scientific contexts: baric conditions affecting weather patterns.
A baric wind law describes how wind direction relates to pressure systems.
The word shares a root with barometer and isobar.
