The entry for barograph is incomplete

1: A barometer that records barometric pressure over time (days or weeks).

https://github.com/nsidc/nsidc_cryosphere_glossary/blob/5c1d18e0d6e8d59837e84d5904fe50bd3bc2b9d5/glossary/b/barograph.yml#L1C1-L4C1

Although barographs are a type of barometer, barographs are distinct in that they record pressure as a continuous pen and ink trace on paper.
