        Barograph Charts are historical atmospheric pressure measurements 
archived at the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC).  The barograph was an 
instrument that made a continuous pen and ink trace of the changing atmospheric 
pressure on a chart.  The barograph chart is also called a barogram. There were 
also measurements made using other types of barometers, and recorded on paper 
forms. Pressures were in millibars or inches of mercury. Many of these 
barograms and forms were provided to NCDC by U.S. agencies: National Weather 
Service (NWS), Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), U.S. Air Force Air 
Weather Service (AWS), and the U.S. Navy Weather Service. The archive includes 
barograms and forms from other sources, including merchant ships at sea.
