  Barometer \Ba*rom"e*ter\, n. [Gr. ? weight + -meter: cf. F.
     barom[`e]tre.]
     An instrument for determining the weight or pressure of the
     atmosphere, and hence for judging of the probable changes of
     weather, or for ascertaining the height of any ascent.
  
     Note: The barometer was invented by Torricelli at Florence
           about 1643. It is made in its simplest form by filling
           a graduated glass tube about 34 inches long with
           mercury and inverting it in a cup containing mercury.
           The column of mercury in the tube descends until
           balanced by the weight of the atmosphere, and its rise
           or fall under varying conditions is a measure of the
           change in the atmospheric pressure. At the sea level
           its ordinary height is about 30 inches (760
           millimeters). See {Sympiesometer}. --Nichol.
  
     {Aneroid barometer}. See {Aneroid barometer}, under
        {Aneroid}.
  
     {Marine barometer}, a barometer with tube contracted at
        bottom to prevent rapid oscillations of the mercury, and
        suspended in gimbals from an arm or support on shipboard.
        
  
     {Mountain barometer}, a portable mercurial barometer with
        tripod support, and long scale, for measuring heights.
  
     {Siphon barometer}, a barometer having a tube bent like a
        hook with the longer leg closed at the top. The height of
        the mercury in the longer leg shows the pressure of the
        atmosphere.
  
     {Wheel barometer}, a barometer with recurved tube, and a
        float, from which a cord passes over a pulley and moves an
        index.
