Usage Examples

• Adjective:
  • The scientist analyzed the barographic data to study the pressure changes preceding the storm.
  • A barographic record provides a detailed timeline of atmospheric pressure fluctuations.

Advanced Usage

• "Barographic trace": Refers to the specific line or chart produced by a barograph.
  • The barographic trace showed a sharp drop in pressure, indicating the approach of the cyclone.

Variants and Related Words

• Barograph (n): The instrument itself that records atmospheric pressure.
