by whom was it developed?
Evangelista Torricelli
Barometer
Although Evangelista Torricelli is universally credited with inventing the barometer in 1643, historical documentation also suggests Gasparo Berti, an Italian mathematician and astronomer, unintentionally built a water barometer sometime between 1640 and 1643. French scientist and philosopher René Descartes described the design of an experiment to determine atmospheric pressure as early as 1631, but there is no evidence that he built a working barometer at that time.
what is the name for a weather forecaster Those using mathematical models and knowledge to prepare daily weather forecast are called "weather forecasters" or "operational meteorologists". what is weather forecasting? The application of science and technology to predict the conditions of the atmosphere for a given location and time. what are a few modern methodologies used in this regard? Barometer, Beaufort scale, Accuweather, El Niño-Southern Oscillation what is the first one? A scientific instrument that is used to measure air pressure in a certain environment. how did it get its name? The word "barometer" is derived from the meaning "weight", and meaning "measure".

Barometer [SEP] History
Although Evangelista Torricelli is universally credited with inventing the barometer in 1643, historical documentation also suggests Gasparo Berti, an Italian mathematician and astronomer, unintentionally built a water barometer sometime between 1640 and 1643. French scientist and philosopher René Descartes described the design of an experiment to determine atmospheric pressure as early as 1631, but there is no evidence that he built a working barometer at that time. On 27 July 1630, Giovanni Battista Baliani wrote a letter to Galileo Galilei explaining an experiment he had made in which a siphon, led over a hill about twenty-one meters high, failed to work.
