noun
- A sensitive instrument that records small variations in atmospheric pressure over time.
Usage: technical; meteorology
Examples
- The meteorology lab installed a microbarograph to detect subtle pressure changes.
- Microbarographs are essential for studying atmospheric waves and gravity waves.
- The microbarograph recorded pressure fluctuations that were too small for standard barometers to measure.
- Scientists use microbarograph data to improve weather prediction models.
- The continuous output from the microbarograph helped researchers understand local wind patterns.
