Abstract
A differential microbarometer allowing the measurement of atmospheric pressure fluctuations with periods from 5 s to 18 h and resolution fro m 0.2 to 2.0 Pa is described. Experimental results of its calibration are in good agreement with acoustic theory provided that the transitio n from adiabatic to isothermal behavior is taken into account. Suggest ions are made on the design of the instrument and the prediction of it s transfer function from easily measurable quantities.
