Question 1 of 2707066636ee928f7522a1c519125

Aneroid barometers are usually calibrated to indicate atmospheric pressure in which units?

Question 1 of 27070

Aneroid barometers are usually calibrated to indicate atmospheric pressure in which units?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Common pressure units in meteorology (e.g., inches of mercury, millibars, millimeters of mercury) • How traditional shipboard barometers are marked for both local and international use • The difference between height of a mercury column and pressure units used on weather charts

💭 Think About

• Which of these units are most commonly used on weather maps and forecasts worldwide? • Which units are traditionally used on older U.S. barometers that have a circular dial? • Look for the answer choice that combines a column height unit with a standard meteorological pressure unit.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which options include millibars, a very common meteorological pressure unit. • Check which unit is normally paired with the abbreviation in. Hg (inches of mercury) on barometer dials. • Eliminate any answer that uses a unit combination you have never seen together on actual weather charts or barometer faces.
