A barometer is an instrument used to measure atmospheric pressure. It can measure the pressure exerted by the atmosphere by using water, air, or Mercury. Pressure tendency can forecast short term changes in the weather. Numerous measurements of air pressure are used within surface weather analysis to help find surface troughs, high pressure systems, and frontal boundaries. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barometer#Applications

∙ 16y agoI believe a cold front is the name given to a line where air at one pressure meets air at another pressure due to the difference in their temperature and moisture levels. It could be that a range of equipment is needed to identify or quantify the phenomenon but most households that bother with such things rely on a barometer.

The most common instrument (tool) is a tape measure.
What weather instrument starts with ba?
Barometer is a weather instrument. It measures the atmospheric pressure.
What are the 4 types of fronts names?
Warm front, Cold front,
What is the difference between the different fronts?
You have a few different types of fronts. You have warm fronts, cold fronts, and stationary fronts. First off the warm front alot of times they tend to move from south to north and when you get a warm front that moves through it obviously makes it warmer where you are. A cold front does just the opposite it makes it colder when it moves through and tends to normally head from the west to the east. Then a stationary front just basically sits there until it is pushed from either another front or a low or high pressure system then it can either be a cold or warm front. Additionally, occluded fronts are old cold fronts in mature low pressure systems where the storm has essentially used up the temperature gradient that existed in that sector, and there is no appreciable difference in air masses.
What is the instrument that measures the amount of water that has fallen?
Rain Guage
What instrument measures warm fronts?
A barometer can be used to measure a warm front since it measures atmospheric pressure. Warm fronts lie within broad troughs of low pressure.
What is an instrument that measures hot and cold?
a thermometer
What do we call an instrument which measures heat and cold?
A thermometer
What are the three cold fronts?
The three cold fronts are the warm fronts, cold fronts, and the stationary fronts.
What is the name of an instrument which measures heat and cold?
That would be a thermometer.
What instrument measures hot or cold air?
a thermometer
Where do violent storms generally form along?
cold fronts
What instrument measures how hot or cold something is?
A thermometer is an instrument that measures cold and heat, together with temperature variations.
What are the three different fronts?
Warm fronts, cold fronts and occluded fronts.
Is this true Cold fronts and warm fronts travel at the same speed?
No, warm fronts generally move slower than cold fronts.
How quick do warm fronts move?
Warm fronts move quicker than cold fronts but cold fronts still move rapidly.
How do cold fronts move?
Cold fronts can move very rapidly but still move slower that warm fronts.
