Meteorologists use barometers to predict short-term changes in the weather. A rapid drop in atmospheric pressure means that a low-pressure system is arriving. Low pressure means that there isn't enough force, or pressure, to push clouds or storms away.

Which barometer is commonly used?
Barometers. The most commonly used type of barometer for calibration duties is the Fortin barometer. This is a highly accurate instrument that provides measurement inaccuracy levels of between ±0.03% of full-scale reading and ±0.001% of full-scale reading depending on the measurement range.
