I believe air pressure is measured in PSI ( pound per square inch)
by using a barometer

The unit of measurement is pounds per square inch, or psi
Stolen from Wikipedia:
The standard atmosphere (symbol: atm) is a unit of pressure and is defined as being equal to 101.325 kPa. The following units are equivalent, but only to the number of decimal places displayed: 760 mmHg (torr), 29.92 inHg, 14.696 psi, 1013.25 millibars/hectopascal.
If you have a barometer at home or watch any weather related news, atmospheric pressure is most commonly given in: inHg (inches of Mercury[at least here in the USA]).

Is barometric pressure the same as atmosheric pressure?
Yes, Barometric Pressure and Atmospheric Pressure are the same thing. Except one describes what Atmospheric Pressure would be measured in.
Does the wind move from high pressure area towards low pressure area?
Yes, it does move from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure. If it didn't we would have no such thing as wind.
What are meteorological instruments?
They are the devices that measure or estimate the properties of the earth's atmosphere.
What is an non example of air pressure?
no pressure
What are the two factors that determine the movement of air mass?
Two main factors that influence air movement are pressure and temperature, though they are really the same thing. Air moves to places with less pressure, to "fill them up," and gets pushed away from areas with high pressure. Also, when air gets hot, it becomes less dense than the air around it and is pushed upward. When it gets cold, it becomes more dense, and sinks toward the ground.
What is that thing doctors use to check blood pressure?
The doctors use an item called sphygmomanometer to measure the blood pressure of a person.
What is used to measure intraocular pressure?
I thing glaucoma test? I could be wrong but My Grandma has glaucoma and she said something about "eye fluid pressure"
Is an oil sensor and an oil pressure sending unit the same thing?
It could be. An oil sensor could measure pressure, temperature, level, or quality.
Is the low pressure port and the low pressure switch the same thing?
No, the low pressure port and the low pressure switch are not the same thing. The low pressure port is used for connecting a gauge to measure refrigerant pressure in the system, while the low pressure switch is a component that monitors the pressure level and can shut off the compressor to prevent damage.
What is the point of maths?
the only thing its useful for is the store and the bank
Is it more useful to know the name of a thing or to know the the thing itself?
It is useful to know the name of a thing, but more useful to know the thing itself.
What does sphygmomanometer measure?
A sphygmomanometer measures blood pressure. It consists of an inflatable cuff to restrict blood flow, a pressure gauge to measure blood pressure, and a stethoscope to listen to the blood flow sounds.
What is the hardest thing about taking a test?
exams are not merely a measure of academic prowess, but rather a test of our ability to handle pressure.
An umberella is a useful thing is this is a right question?
An umbrella is a useful thing. This is a correct sentence but it is not a question, it is a statement.
What is an equal measure of 789cm.?
0.789 cm, it really is the same thing just add a zero and a decimal. :D
Does a 2006 Ford F-250 6.0 powerstroke have to have back pressure or can you run strait exhaust?
Well you can run straight exhaust if you really want to. But back pressure is the best thing for the truck.
Call by reference?
A very useful thing.
