Atmospheric Pressure Course
Gain expertise in atmospheric pressure, from operating barometers to using barometric formulas. Analyse real-world valley-mountain datasets, connect pressure variations to weather systems like storms and fronts, minimise measurement errors, and develop precise plots and reports to boost your physics knowledge and practical fieldwork skills in a South African context.

What will I learn?
This course offers hands-on training in measuring, adjusting, and understanding atmospheric pressure data. You will master barometer use, measurement units, and calibration techniques, apply key barometric formulas and sea-level adjustments, organise valley-to-mountain field expeditions, work with actual datasets, connect pressure changes to weather patterns, and produce clear plots, reports, and classroom resources.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Master barometric measurements: operate, calibrate, and interpret professional barometers efficiently.
- Model pressure and altitude: use barometric formulas and standard atmosphere models for varied terrains.
- Design field campaigns: plan, collect, and record quality data from mountain and valley sites.
- Interpret weather from pressure: associate trends with storms, fronts, and clear weather conditions.
- Report data for education: transform, graph, and present pressure information clearly and accessibly.
