A barometer is advice used to atmospheric pressure. They are commonly contain water, air, or Mercury. The medium used raises and falls in a tube with a reservoir at the base. The pressure from the outside air pushes on the medium in the exposed reservoir. This push is what causes the medium raise or fall. The measure of the barometer can indicate local weather patterns. High pressure indicates fair weather, while low pressure indicates a storm.
