aneroid barometer
an aneroid berometer
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.An aneroid barometer is a barometer which measures pressure without using fluids!An aneroid barometer is somewhat different and uses a sealed chamber upon which the fluctuating atmospheric pressure acts. Through mechanical means a pointer is moved on a calibrated scale.
The barometer measures atmospheric pressure.
A barometer is used to measure air pressure. It measures the atmospheric pressure using air, mercury, or water and will be shown as inches of mercury or millibars.

Usually no difference at all. They can both move a pointer around a circular scale. The scale can be calibrated in both Inches of Mercury (InHg) or Millbars (Mb). An aneroid system can lend itself more easily to a digital display.
An advantage of using a barometer is that you can measure air pressure.
By using a thermometer and the barometer.=)
The four basic instruments used by meteorologists include the thermometer, the barometer, the anemometer and the hygrometer. The thermometer is used to measure temperature, as you might have guessed. The barometer is used to measure barometric (atmospheric) pressure. The anemometer is used to measure wind speed, and the hygrometer is used to measure relative humidity.A beginning investigator wishing to review the tools of the meteorologist will start with these four basic instruments. There are, however, many other instruments and observation systems used by meteorologists, and a list of them can be found by using the link below.
