  "term": "Barometric corrections",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "Adjustments applied to a pressure reading from a barometer to account for systematic errors and produce a standardized value. The primary corrections are for instrument temperature, the variation of gravity with latitude and elevation, and instrumental error determined by calibration against a standard. The final corrected value is known as station pressure, which is distinct from sea-level pressure.",
