Barometer Simultaneous barometric readings from across a network of weather stations allow maps of air pressure to be produced, which were the first form of the modern weather map when created in the 19th century. Isobars, lines of equal pressure, when drawn on such a map, give a contour map showing areas of high and low pressure. Localized high atmospheric pressure acts as a barrier to approaching weather systems, diverting their course. Atmospheric lift caused by low-level wind convergence into the surface brings clouds and sometimes precipitation. The larger the change in pressure, especially if more than 3.5 hPa (0.1 inHg),
Desorption atmospheric pressure photoionization began being used in atmospheric pressure experiments in the mid 1980s. Early developments in the desorption of open surface and free matrix experiements were first reported in literature in 1999 in an experiment using desorption/ionization on silicon (DIOS). DAPPI replaced techniques such as desorption electrospray ionization (DESI) and direct analysis in real time (DART). This generation of techniques are all recent developments seen in the 21st century. DESI was discovered in 2004 at Purdue University, while DART was discovered in 2005 by Laramee and Cody. DAPPI was developed soon after in 2007 at the University of Helsinki, Finland. The development
