Since ancient times man, as a farmer and navigator, has observed and attempted to predict weather patterns. The scientific study of the changes occurring in the atmosphere began in the mid-17th century, in connection with experiments tending to prove the existence of a vacuum, which ancient philosophers denied because "nature abhors a vacuum!".Evangelista Torricelli (1608-1647), mathematician and physicist, a disciple of Galileo, was the first in 1643 to build an instrument capable of detecting changes in air pressure, which he understood to be related to changes in atmospheric weather.
