Digital
Barometer and Thermometer
Even
the slightest change in the atmospheric pressure can create
the feeling of tightness in the head and nausea. People who
are sensitive to this often complain of headaches and lethargy
as a high pressure weather system is slowly replaced with
a low pressure weather system. The lower the pressure the
more noticable the pain and can get particularly bad when
a thunderstorm is on the way.
Because of this, the group
uses a digital barometer to take an atmospheric reading at
the beginning and at the end of each investigation. If people
in the group have spoken of feeling tired and headachy as
the night progressed and the pressure has dropped then this
may be an explanation as to why. Also, if there is a particular
room that feels 'heavy' and uncomfortable to be in, then an
instant barometer reading can be taken. If there is an atmospheric
pressure drop in a small, localised area then that's interesting. Also included in this device
is a digital thermometer. This is much better than a laser
thermometer since they can only read the temperature of a
surface. So, if you're trying to get a reading of a cold spot,
the laser thermometer will only tell you the temperature of
what is behind it. This is different since it reads
the temperature of the area it is placed in and can be held
within a coldspot to see if a drop in temperature can be recorded. |
