This app measures and displays a graph of Barometric Pressure (hPa) vs. Time (s) that can be exported to Google Drive or in an e-mail as a .csv (comma separated values) attachment.
This app can be particularly effective when measuring changes in atmospheric pressure due to weather, estimating changes in altitude (on amusement park rides, elevators, car travel across mountains), monitoring air cabin pressure changes during an airplane ride, estimating the strength of a vacuum chamber, or even observing changes in air pressure due to photosynthesis and plant respiration within a closed system.
