A composer who has been working with electronics and samples since the 1970s, Carl Stone delivered a disorienting barrage from his laptop: bristling, relentlessly repetitive, stereo-hopping, rhythmic but dance-defying tracks that were so densely layered they seemed to raise the atmospheric pressure in the club.

That can only be calculated for individual storms once they've formed: it depends on too many variables, like when the hurricane developed, how strong its winds are, where it's going, and the atmospheric pressure, which is all information that's collected by satellites, buoys, radars, as well as reconnaissance aircraft.

The storm, referred to by some meteorologists as a "bomb cyclone" for its sudden drop in atmospheric pressure, prompted flight cancellations up and down the East Coast and forced dozens of school districts to cancel or delay classes along the path of the storm, including New York City schools.

As it zipped through the gap, the probe traveled to within 22004,22 miles (3,000 kilometers) of Saturn's cloud tops (where air pressure is similar to the atmospheric pressure of Earth at sea level), and within about 200 miles (300 kilometers) of the innermost visible edge of the rings, NASA said.

Yet the storm, notable for a steep drop in atmospheric pressure that prompted some forecasters to describe it as a "bomb cyclone," was but one act in a prolonged run of misery that had already enveloped millions of people in a wintry torment of Arctic air and snow-blown streets.

Instead, they found that two large atmospheric patterns most likely accounted for the hot spot off the Southeast coast: the El Niño cycle and the North Atlantic Oscillation, which is a shift in atmospheric pressure over the ocean that can have large effects on the winds blowing toward the American coast.

They may develop weather or climate forecasts using computer modeling, measure temperature, atmospheric pressure, humidity, wind speed, dew point, and other properties of the atmosphere, create new instruments to help with their research, issue warnings about severe weather, or advice clients on risks or opportunities caused by weather events and climate change.

"Many visitors to the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station have difficulty with the abrupt change in altitude -- depending on the temperature and atmospheric pressure, it can feel like 11,000 feet above sea level, where there's a dramatic reduction in the amount of oxygen in each breath," Parazynski said in a statement to CNN.

Together, Ocean and Drake will harmonize and reproduce Isaac Brock's whiny cadence to sing about the atmospheric pressure of modern day life near Lake Huron, the distant horizons of Lake Michigan and the great emotional depths of Lake Superior, the second largest lake in the world by area, and sweet, often forgotten, Lake Erie.

In the case of Hurricane Harvey, these include the warm ocean that provided energy for the storm; the elevated sea level on top of which the storm surge occurred; the atmospheric pressure pattern that contributed to the storm's stalling over the coast; and the atmospheric water vapor that provided moisture for the record-setting precipitation.

Despite the fact that the surface temperature of Venus is hotter than any other planet in the solar system at 873 degrees Fahrenheit (467 degrees Celsius), the atmospheric pressure and temperature at about 30 miles (50 kilometers) to 40 miles (65 kilometers) above the surface of the planet are nearly the same as those of Earth.

A 2004 paper concluded that chemical conditions in Venus' clouds fall within the bounds of habitability, namely at the layer between 48 kilometers and 52 kilometers, where temperatures fluctuate between zero to 60 degrees C, atmospheric pressure hovers between 0.4 to 2 atm, and the clouds are peppered with life-friendly compounds such as sulfur, acid aerosols, and carbon dioxide.
