Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-003192

A mercury barometer designed and calibrated to provide highly accurate measurements of atmospheric pressure, serving as a reference for other barometers. It typically features a precisely measured column of mercury in a vacuum, with corrections applied for temperature and gravity. These instruments are maintained in national meteorological laboratories for calibration purposes.
