"Through embedded sensors, the probes can measure a tornado's wind speed and direction, barometric pressure, humidity, and temperature, " the magazine wrote.
Right now the focus is on humidity, temperature and barometric pressure, though other environmental variables would be relatively trivial to tack on.
Professional forecasters often apply some version of a Markov model in order to get a baseline and then incorporate other factors, such as barometric pressure, to improve accuracy.
All three albums appeared in the top ten at some point, and their presence just outside the top 10 could be as much a result of changes in barometric pressure as anything else.
My 1979 dissertation was a model relating interannual and interseasonal variations in the shape of the atmosphere, as reflected by the surface barometric pressure field, to variations crop yields across the United States.
Its barometric altimeter tracks changes in pressure to pinpoint users' altitude, and they even can use it to plot barometric pressure over time, which can help keep an eye on changing weather conditions.
