a. [ Gr. (&unr_;) &unr_; a treatise of Archimedes on finding the center of gravity, fr. &unr_; gravitating toward the center; &unr_; center + &unr_; weight. ] Relating to the center of gravity, or to the process of finding it. [ 1913 Webster ]

Centrobaric method (Math.), a process invented for the purpose of measuring the area or the volume generated by the rotation of a line or surface about a fixed axis, depending upon the principle that every figure formed by the revolution of a line or surface about such an axis has for measure the product of the line or surface by the length of the path of its center of gravity; -- sometimes called theorem of Pappus, also, incorrectly, Guldinus's properties. See Barycentric calculus, under Calculus. [ 1913 Webster ]

n. [ OE. globerde, from glow. ] A glowworm. [ Obs. ] Holland.

n. [ Hydro-, 1 + barometer. ] An instrument for determining the depth of the sea water by its pressure. [ 1913 Webster ]

a. (Anat.) Between lobes; as, the interlobar notch of the liver; the interlobar ducts of a gland. [ 1913 Webster ]

n. [ Iso- + Gr. &unr_; weight. ] (Phys. Geog.) A line connecting or marking places upon the surface of the earth where height of the barometer reduced to sea level is the same either at a given time, or for a certain period (mean height), as for a year; an isopiestic line. [ Written also isobare. ] [ 1913 Webster ]

a. (Phys. Geog.) Denoting equal pressure; as, an isobaric line; specifically, of or pertaining to isobars. [ 1913 Webster ]

n. The quality or state of being equal in weight, especially in atmospheric pressure. Also, the theory, method, or application of isobaric science. [ 1913 Webster ]

{ } a. [ Quinque- + lobate, -ated: cf. F. quinquélobé. ] Cut less than halfway into portions, usually somewhat rounded; five-lobed; as, a quinquelobate leaf or corolla. [ 1913 Webster ]

n. [ Gr. th^le far + hydrobarometer. ] An instrument for indicating the level of water in a distant tank or reservior. [ Webster 1913 Suppl. ]

n. (Physics) An instrument for recording simultaneously the pressure and temperature of a gas; a combined thermograph and barograph. [ Webster 1913 Suppl. ]

n. [ Thermo- + barometer. ] 1. (Physics) An instrument for determining altitudes by the boiling point of water. [ 1913 Webster ]

2. A siphon barometer adapted to be used also as a thermometer. [ Webster 1913 Suppl. ]
