In our hemisphere, areas of high barometric pressure, anticyclones, create winds which circulate anticlockwise. |
It's a handheld weather unit that computes wind, temperature, dew point and barometric pressure in several different units of measure. |
The anticipated temperature, rainfall, windspeed, barometric pressure and cloud cover are given, among other parameters. |
The turtle recorded a barometric pressure drop of 100 millibars within the vortex. |
Sudden and dramatic drops in barometric pressure are what produce the extremely high winds in tornadoes and hurricanes. |
If the barometric pressure suddenly drops from, say, a normal reading of 1,000 millibars to 900 millibars, a very powerful wind will result. |
