A barometer reads the difference be-tween local and standard atmospheric pressure

Local atmospheric pressure depends upon elevation of locality only

Local atmospheric pressure is always below standard atmospheric pressure

Standard atmospheric pressure is the mean local atmospheric pressure a* sea level
