National standard barometer
Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-007476
A highly accurate barometer maintained by a national meteorological service or standards laboratory, serving as the primary reference for calibrating other barometric instruments. This instrument is typically a precision mercury barometer, carefully controlled for temperature and gravity effects. All other barometers used for weather observations within a country are ultimately traceable to this standard.
