Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-003501
Relating to a type of barometer that measures atmospheric pressure without the use of a liquid, such as mercury. It operates on the principle of a sealed, evacuated metal capsule that expands and contracts with changes in external air pressure. The movement of the capsule is mechanically linked to a pointer, indicating the pressure reading.
