Why Measure Barometric Pressure?
One important parameter in monitoring weather systems is barometric pressure. Changes read by a barometric pressure meter or transmitter indicate weather front movement. Most weather stations include a barometric pressure sensor as one parameter they monitor. Barometric pressure transmitters are also used for many other applications including ocean buoys, ships, checking engine performance, airports, and many more. A major use for barometric pressure sensors is related to determining surface and ground water level readings. For more information on this please go to our water level information page.
