How a barometer measures air pressure ... The centers of storms are areas of relatively low air pressure, compared to pressures around the storm. High air pressure generally brings good weather. Keeping track of how ... The instruments that measure air pressure are called barometers, from Greek words for weight and measure.

So, even though, in fact when the air pressure changes, the water experiences a force either pushing or pulling on it, the force has little effect on the volume of the water (is just like pushing on a concrete wall and trying to measure the displacement, you are doing things right (at least in principle), but it will...
