Myth-busting: The Barometric Pressure Debate
<p>Atmospheric pressure (also known as barometric pressure) is caused from the downward force of air in the atmosphere. Generally, pressure is minimal in the higher atmosphere, and greatest at the Earth’s surface. But even at Earth’s surface, pockets of high and low pressures can be found, and are caused by heat convection and Earth’s rotation. Air wants to flow from areas of high pressure to low pressure. Rising air leads to low pressure at the surface, while sinking air leads to high pressure. These movements of air due to pressure changes create weather. With high pressure cells, descending air suppresses weather development. Usually calm, clear, and sunny conditions are associated with high pressure systems. During low pressure, wind circulates upwards. As air rises, it cools and the moisture held in the air condenses, creating clouds, causing wind and sometimes precipitation. Many anglers believe changes in pressure influence fish behavior, mainly in their feeding aggression. Therefore, theories have been developed about which types of pressure are best for getting a fish to bite.</p>
