To feel overwhelmed or intimidated by someone or something, resulting in a sense of helplessness or submissiveness in the face of their influence or power.
To experience a loss of confidence or assertiveness when confronted by a strong presence or formidable situation, leading to an inability to respond effectively.
To be subjected to a pressure that makes one feel subdued or daunted, often leading to emotional discomfort or anxiety.
To yield to the force or charisma of another, resulting in a diminished sense of self-agency or resolve.
The force exerted by the weight of air above a particular point, commonly measured in units such as hectopascals or millimeters of mercury.
A measurement of the pressure surrounding us, which influences weather patterns and can indicate changes in environmental conditions.
The specific atmospheric force experienced at sea level, defined as one atmosphere, equivalent to a pressure of 1013.25 hectopascals or the height of a mercury column measuring 760 millimeters.
Example:
飛行機でお酒飲むと、気圧のせいか酔いやすい。
A meteorological phenomenon characterized by an area of higher atmospheric pressure that is surrounded by regions of lower pressure, often leading to clear and stable weather conditions.
A specific zone on weather maps where isobars are closed and indicate elevated pressure, typically associated with clockwise wind patterns in the Northern Hemisphere and counterclockwise in the Southern Hemisphere, resulting in generally pleasant weather.
A condition where the atmospheric pressure is elevated, often resulting in decreased cloud formation and precipitation, contributing to sunny skies and settled weather.
A region in the atmosphere characterized by a lower pressure compared to the surrounding areas, where air tends to rise, often resulting in cloud formation and generally poor weather conditions.
A closed area on a weather map surrounded by isobars that indicates lower atmospheric pressure, typically associated with counterclockwise winds in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere, leading to the occurrence of precipitation.
A metaphorical expression to describe a state of discomfort or unease, often reflected in a person's mood or a situation that seems precarious or unstable.
Example:
これらの船は数日間低気圧の中にいることができるくらい速く走れる。
A device used to measure atmospheric pressure by utilizing the height of a column of mercury in a narrow glass tube, where the height changes in response to fluctuations in air pressure.
An instrument that determines air pressure based on the balance of mercury against external atmospheric pressure, typically indicating a standard height of approximately 76 centimeters under normal conditions.
