Tom - Using the chart you provided and the data for todays barometric press=
ure across the USA the correction factor could not be more than 5 percent a=
nywhere in the US just for barometric pressure. The barometric pressure li=
nes went from a low of 984 to a high of 1020. That's 36mb or a change equa=
l to an altitide difference of just over 1,000 feet. Barometric pressure c=
hanges would not seem to have influences of more than plus or minus 0.5ppm =
dissolved Oxygen unless there is a heck of a storm. Stop making me do so m=
uch math :-} Is the math right . . . any mountain climbers in the group?
