Relating to or measured by a baroscope; having to do with observing changes in atmospheric pressure.
From baroscope + -ic (adjective-forming suffix). This technical adjective emerged in scientific literature to describe instruments and methods based on pressure observation.
Early scientists loved the -scopic suffix because it suggested they were 'looking at' or 'observing' something invisible—in this case, they were essentially watching the weight of the air itself.
