Mainly meteorologists (weathermen), but chemists, engineers, and other scientists may. A barometer is an instrument used to measure pressure.
Pilots and almost anyone involved with aviation use it. The altimeter in a plane works basically like a kind of barometer, and the barometric pressures affect the altimeter readings. It's very important to be able to correct for changing pressures, otherwise you could think you are at a higher altitude than you actually are, obviously dangerous.

What is an aneroid barometer called?
Well, an aneroid barometer, is called an aneroid barometer- but, a barometer measures air pressure, and an aneroid barometer is a barometer that contains no liquid.
How does an aneroid barometer measure atmospheric pressure?
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.
What is the most commonly used barometer?
The most commonly used barometer is the mercury barometer.However, it is not easy to transport but it gives more accurate results. Another type of barometer is Aneroid barometer which is easy to transport and handle.
What equipment do you use to measure air pressure?
It is called a barometer, first developed in the 1600's
Is barometer a noun in the dictionary?
yes barometer is a noun in the dictionary
What are the uses of a Mercury barometer?
A Mercury barometer is used to measure atmospheric pressure.
Who uses the barometer?
Weather forecasters.
Barometer who uses them?
Evangellista Torricelli uses barometers as well makes them
What is a barometer that uses a thin metal can?
Aneroid
What are the tools a scientist uses to learn about a thunderstorm?
a barometer
Uses of barometer?
A barometer is an instrument used to measure the atmospheric pressure. It does so by comparing the atmospheric pressure with a predefined standard pressure.
Thermometer is to air pressure as what is to air pressure?
You asked the question wrong. The analogy was : Thermometer is to Temperature as Barometer is to Air Pressure.A meteorologist uses his Barometer to measure pressure in millibars, very small changes in the atmosphere's pressure. He uses the Thermometer to measure the air Temperature.
What instrument do airplane pilots use to detremine altitude?
S(he) uses an altimeter which a kind of airborne barometer.
What is an aneroid barometer called?

Air pressure is typically measured with a?
Air pressure is measured with a barometer.
What type of barometer used in aircraft?
Aircraft use an Aneroid Barometer, which uses a bellows and spring to measure changes in the earth's atmosphere from air pressure, unlike mercury or water barometers which use a liquid to measure these changes.
