Does a rising barometer mean cool air or warm air?

It means higher atmospheric pressure, which is generally caused by cool air.


What type of weather will generally a rising barometer reading?

A barometer measures air-pressure (baro-meter) so a rising reading means the local air pressure is increasing. If we assume that your local gravity is constant (it usually is) then the increasing air pressure is caused by the air getting denser; more kilograms per cubic metre or pounds per pint. That could be because the air is getting colder, or because it has less water content, since making air colder makes it denser, and dry air is denser than wet air. So, a rising barometer suggests a spell of cool dry weather.A rising barometer indicates that the air pressure is rising and this is associated with clear skies with few cloud formations. Generally this will mean it is hotter than average in summer, but colder than average in winter.A rising barometer means higher pressure which means less clouds and fairer weather.


What happens when a barometer shows low air pressure?

it means hot or warm.


What happens to an aneriod barometer when air pressure changes?

When air pressure increases, the aneroid barometer contracts, causing the needle to move clockwise or indicate a higher pressure reading. Conversely, when air pressure decreases, the aneroid barometer expands, causing the needle to move counterclockwise or indicate a lower pressure reading.


What deos a barometer measure?

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.


A barometer is an instrument used for measuring water pressure?

otherwise know as a barometer and it measures air pressure in newtons


How would you expect the reading on a barometer to change as a storm moves into your area?

Yes. You would expect the pressure to drop. A low pressure system consists of rising warm air that swirl around a center. Because the air is rising, it lowers the air pressure pressed on the ground. Because of this the pressure-sensing barometer will read that the air pressure is lower. Lower pressure means rain because the warm rising air makes clouds. Expect the pressure to drop as a storm is a low pressure system. Note that cyclones/hurricanes have even lower pressure.


How can you use a barometer to detect changes in air pressure?

A barometer is used in 2 ways. First you keep it stationary. You record the pressure. If the pressure drops, it means, a storm is coming. Second, in a car or airplane when the barometer falls, it means you are getting higher. When the barometer drops, it means you are getting lower.


Air pressure is typically measured with a?

Air pressure is measured with a barometer.


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 weather do you think is coming when air pressure is rising?

When air pressure is rising, generally clear and dry weather is expected. Rising pressure indicates a stable atmosphere with sinking air, which typically means calm conditions with minimal chances of precipitation.


What happens When the barometer is dropping air pressure is .?

When the barometer is dropping, it indicates that the air pressure is decreasing, which suggests that a low-pressure system or a weather front is moving in. This can often lead to cloudy or rainy weather as the atmosphere becomes less stable.
