LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WAVE) - The weight of the air surrounding us is known as barometric or atmospheric pressure. Low and high barometric pressure can impact our bodies differently; factors such as ...

Atmospheric pressure, specifically the altimeter setting, is the most critical yet underappreciated weather element for pilots to accurately determine altitude, especially in mountainous regions and ...

Pressure altitude is the height of an aircraft above a theoretical standard datum plane, corresponding to an altimeter setting of 29.92 inHg, and is used as a baseline for weather-related calculations ...

Understanding atmospheric pressure is vital, newsroom meteorologist Justin Ballard said, because those giant H’s and L’s representing high and low air pressure systems on a weather map are meaningless ...

We’re hearing meteorologists talk about Texas being trapped under a “heat dome” again, but what is it exactly and why is it happening? A heat dome is basically a system of high pressure sitting over ...
