Geography | Force applied to each particle of a fluid by virtue of non-uniformity of the field of pressure. It acts in the direction and sense of the pressure gradient. . Source: European Union. (references) |
Mining | The barometric pressure of the air at any point is that exerted by the weight of the atmosphere above that point. It therefore varies with the elevation of the point above or the depth below sea level. Barometric pressure is measured by the mercury barometer, and is of the order of 30in (762 mm) of mercury at sea level. (references) |
Solar | The pressure (force per area) created by the weight of the atmosphere, measured by a barometer. At higher elevations, the atmospheric pressure is lower because there is less air. (references) |
