介绍了海平面对于大气压变化的响应(反变气压计响应)的理论现状及其今后发展方向，以及反变 气压计响应对于地球自转激发函数的影响。有关研究成果表明，反变气压计响应的影响具有时域、频域 性，且其随时空的变化比较明显，因此，详细研究其动态特征并应用于地球物理领域的前景广阔。
The theory and development of the response of sea level to the change of atmospheric pressure (Inverted Barometer response) is introduced in this paper and its impact on excitation of the Earth rotation is discussed. The results show that the IB response has the characteristics of time and frequency domain and its variation is obviously dependent on time and space. So the foreground of dynamic IB response is wide in geophysics research.
