| barosinusitis |
inflammation and pain of one or more paranasal sinuses (usually the frontal sinus) due to difference in pressure between the surrounding atmosphere and the air within the sinus cavity; it occurs on ascent to or descent from a high altitude, such as in an airplane, when the opening into the sinus is obstructed. Called also aerosinusitis and sinus barotrauma.

| 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.
