An alternative or dialectal spelling of 'barye,' a unit of pressure equal to one dyne per square centimeter.
From Greek 'baros' (weight), with the '-ie' ending used in some scientific nomenclature. This variant spelling appears occasionally in physics literature from the early 20th century.
The barye is so small (one dyne per square cm) that it's almost never used anymore—scientists switched to pascals because the barye is 10 times smaller than anything practical to measure.
