Glossary of Common Terms
LCD
“LCD” is an acronym for ”Liquid Crystal Display”. This is a common type
of display screen used in televisions, computers, watches, and digital
clocks.
BAROMETER & BAROMETRIC PRESSURE
A barometer is a device that measures the pressure of the air pushing on
it—this measurement is called the barometric pressure. We don’t
actually feel the barometric pressure because the air pressure is pushing
equally in every direction.
RELATIVE AIR PRESSURE
Relative air pressure is the same as the barometric pressure. The
calculation of relative air pressure is a combination of the absolute air
pressure and the altitude.
ABSOLUTE AIR PRESSURE
Absolute air pressure is the actual air pressure on the barometer without
regard to altitude.
