Barothermohygrogram

/ˌbæroʊˌθɜrmoʊhaɪˈɡroʊɡræm/ noun

Definition

A recorded chart showing three simultaneous measurements: atmospheric pressure, temperature, and humidity.

Etymology

From Greek 'baros' (pressure) + 'thermo' (heat) + 'hygro' (moisture) + '-gram' (recorded). This compound term emerged in 20th-century meteorology as instruments became sophisticated enough for triple measurements.

Kelly Says

Meteorologists love these triple-measurement charts because pressure, temperature, and humidity together tell the complete story of what the atmosphere is doing—they're like three threads in a rope that when woven together reveal whether a storm is coming.
