Plateau Pressure is the pressure applied to the lungs at end inspiration, with no flow occuring(why we do the insp. hold). Peak Inspiratory Pressure includes pressure due to flow. Peak Inspiratory Pressure(PIP) is a combination of the driving pressure(flow) and plateau Pressure. Plateau pressure reading includes PEEP.
This is the typic situation during high pressure periods (perhaps 1025 hPa). The weather is usually stable and fair (In wintertime perhaps foggy). You may observe regular daily variations of the pressure. These waves are depending upon your latitude. During some high-pressure periods you may think for days or even weeks that your barometer is out of order.
