Barometers and Altimeters

Barometers and Altimeters

Barometers and Altimeters measure atmospheric pressure. More specifically, altimeters use atmospheric pressure to determine the altitude of an object. Some barometers feature an altimeter.
 
Both devices are associated with weather applications, such as hiking and climbing, aircraft, military, skydiving, and satellites. They come in a variety of styles and sizes to meet a range of needs.
 
Types of Barometers & Altimeters

• Digital – Digital barometers and altimeters are easy to use and often measure multiple parameters
• Analog – This is the classic design
