1. Introduction
Thank you for your purchase of the Ambient Weather BA30806 Frost Globe Map Storm Hand Blown Glass Barometer. The following is a guide for preparation, care and operation of your traditional barometer and thermometer.

2. Preparation
You will need food coloring to color the water in the storm glass. Any color is fine, based on personal taste.

3. Care and Cleaning
Avoid use of harsh household cleaners and coarse paper towels, which can damage the lacquer or glass.
Do not install the barometer and thermometer outside. It is intended for indoor use only.

4. Storm Glass Barometer
4.1 How the storm glass works
The concept that 'decreasing atmospheric pressure predicts stormy weather' was postulated by Lucien Vidie - and it's the basis for a weather prediction device called a storm glass or liquid barometer. It consists of a glass container with a sealed body, half filled with water.
A narrow spout connects to the body below the water level and rises above the water level, where it is open to the atmosphere. When the air pressure is lower than it was at the time the body was sealed, the water level in the spout will rise above the water level in the body and when the air pressure is higher, the water level in the spout will drop below the water level in the body.

4.2 Filling the storm glass
Each Storm Glass is hand blown and accurately forecasts changes in the weather hours in advance. The Storm Glass should be filled with distilled water which decreases the chance of streaks being left on the glass. Using the enclosed tools filling the Storm Glass is a simple procedure. Fill the syringe (included in the package) the colored water (use food coloring). Attach the syringe to the inlet of plastic tube (included in the package). Turn the storm glass upside down. This is to ensure the liquid does not flow out. Gently push the tube into the storm glass through the inlet of the spout until the end of the tube has reached the bottom of the storm glasses bulb. Slowly inject the liquid into the storm glass until half of the bulb is filled, as shown in Figure 1. Turn the storm glass over to its proper position (do not remove the syringe). Use more liquid to fill the glass tube until the colored liquid has reached half way up the spout, as shown in Figure 1. You may have to add or remove liquid after observing the storm glass for several days and comparing to current and predicted weather conditions. Note that evaporation is normal over time and the storm glass must be topped off occasionally.

4.3 Emptying the storm glass
Attach the syringe to the long plastic tube. Put the storm glass in an upright position. Insert the tube into the storm glass until it reaches the bottom of the bulb. Slowly pump the liquid out until all of the liquid is gone.

Note: You can vary the water color by adding the food coloring of your choice. The image above is shown with blue fluid.
