Pressure is the amount of force applied per unit area. Pressure can be measured by a pressure gauge, but it is important to know the type of pressure the gauge is reading. This article will cover the ...

Most engineers understand the concept of pressure. It’s a force, often measured in pounds, on a specific area. It is commonly listed in pounds per square inch (psi). But there are a variety of ...

For over two centuries, meteorologists were puzzled by the observation that atmospheric pressure in the tropics peaks at 10 a.m. and 10 p.m. nearly every day. For over two centuries, meteorologists ...

For over two centuries, meteorologists were puzzled by the observation that atmospheric pressure in the tropics peaks at 10 a.m. and 10 p.m. nearly every day. In the late 1960s, a theory was proposed ...

The pressure was calculated from data obtained by observation of stellar occultation by Pluto using the 3.6m Devasthal optical telescope (DOT) and 1.3m Devasthal Fast Optical Telescope (DFOT). The DST ...

Pressure altitude is an aircraft's height above a theoretical "standard datum plane," defined by specific atmospheric conditions (29.92 inHg pressure, 15°C at sea level). It is a critical metric for ...

Here’s good news if you happen to drop something while you’re strolling across a sandy section of Mars: You should be able to find what you dropped more easily than if you had dropped it into desert ...

Above: A file photo of aircraft at Heathrow Airport in front of the London skyline on October 11, 2016. On Sunday, January 19, 2020, Heathrow recorded the highest mean sea level pressure in more than ...
