| barometric pressure |
The current atmospheric pressure as indicated by a barometer. fronts An interface or transition zone between two air masses of different density, and therefore usually of different temperature. A moving front is named according to the advancing air mass, eg a cold front if colder air is advancing. The basic frontal types are cold fronts, warm fronts and occluded fronts. isobars A line of equal barometric pressure on a weather map.

| barometric pressure |
The pressure exerted by the weight of the column of air above a given point, expressed in kilopascals. Generally speaking, when the barometric pressure is high, the air is sinking, usually resulting in fair weather. When the barometric pressure is low or falling, air is rising, usually resulting in cloudy skies and precipitation.

| barometric pressure |
The air that makes up our atmosphere exerts a pressure on the surface of the earth. This pressure is known as atmospheric pressure. Generally, the more air above an area, the higher the atmospheric pressure. Barometric pressure changes with local weather conditions, making barometric pressure an important and useful weather forecasting tool. High pressure zones are generally associated with fair weather, while low pressure zones are generally associated with poor weather. ...
