barometric pressure
Air column force
Barometric pressure is the force exerted by the atmosphere at a given point, measured by a barometer.
Weather forecasts track it because falling pressure often signals approaching storms, while rising pressure suggests fair weather.
My joints ache when the barometric pressure drops.
Also called atmospheric pressure.
