barometrical
Gauging air pressure
Barometrical means of or relating to barometers or atmospheric pressure measurement.
The word is an unnecessarily long variant of barometric, which is strongly preferred in modern usage: barometric pressure, barometric readings.
Barometrical appears occasionally in older scientific texts but sounds archaic today.
